How parties voted the proposed Constitution
After the first exit polls, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi announced on a midnight press conference his resignation the next day. In his speech, Renzi assumed a full responsibility for the referendum defeat.
In accordance with Article 138 of the Constitution, a referendum was called because the constitutional law had not been approved by a qualified majority of two-thirds in each house of parliament in the second vote. The constitutional referendum rejected the law by 59.11% of the votes, meaning the constitutional reform will not come into effect.
