Legislative Rules
There are no laws at the national level to govern the conduct of any primary election.
In 2004 Tuscany introduced a regional law regulating primaries, but parties are not mandated to hold primaries. As of today, these rules were used in occasion of the 2005 regional election by the Democrats of the Left and Future Tuscany, and in the 2010 regional election by the Democratic Party (Italy) and Left Ecology Freedom.
