The poll risks turning into a referendum on the far-right leader herself, ahead of parliamentary elections next year. Meloni's hard-right government wants to change Italy's constitution to separate the role of judges and prosecutors and reform their oversight body. The reform would divide the CSM into two separate councils, one for judges and one for prosecutors, and create a new 15-member disciplinary court. In 2016, then-premier Matteo Renzi staked his career on a constitutional reform that voters rejected, toppling his government. This weekend's reform is highly technical and some voters admitted to being swayed more by the politics than the substance.
