The Camera dei deputati is the lower house of the Italian Parliament and is presided over by the "Presidente della Camera" who is chosen by the "deputati". Elections to the Chamber are normally held every 5 years. Since the electoral reform of 1993 members have been voted in via a system which combines a first-past-the-post element with proportional representation.__Encposi__ See also Parlamento.
