ROME (Sputnik) - A coalition of center-right forces could win up to 65% of seats in both houses of the Italian parliament, according to the first exit poll data published by Italian broadcaster Rai.
According to the poll, the center-right bloc, which unites the Brothers of Italy party, the League party, the Forza Italia party, and the Moderate Party, can get 227-257 seats out of 400 seats in the Chamber of Deputies - the lower house of the Italian parliament - and 111-131 seats in the 200-seat Senate which is the upper house of the parliament.
According to Consorzio Opinio Italia, the center-right coalition should gain 41-45% of the votes in the elections.
The turnout in the snap parliamentary elections in Italy was 63.8%, which is about 9% less than in March 2018, Italian Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese said on Monday.
"The turnout is almost final, hundreds of municipalities are missing. I must say that the figure was 63.81%, which is about 9% lower than in the previous elections," Lamorgese said.
The first forecasts, based on the results of counting the first ballots, confirm the leadership of the center-right coalition in the elections.
