Abstract
For the first time in the European elections of May 2019, the provisions of the law n.65 of 22 April 2014 to strengthen gender representation will be applied. In particular, the law foresees that: a) lists of candidates cannot be composed by more than half candidates of the same gender; b) the first two candidates in the lists must be of different gender; c) the triple gender preference. Through the analysis of the Italian case, we will try to assess the effect of electoral system on gender representation in the European Parliament: are women penalized more in the vote or in the selection of candidates?
