Abbiategrasso was a single-member constituency of the Italian Republic which was used for the election of the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of the Italian Parliament. It belonged to the Lombardy 1 multi-member district and was used in the 1994, 1996 and 2001 general elections. It was used to elect a deputy to in the XII, XIII and XIV legislatures.

History

The constituency was established in 1993 with the so-called Mattarella Law (Law no. 277, New Rules for the Election of the Chamber of Deputies), implemented following the 1993 abrogative referendum. The law established a mixed electoral system for the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate of the Republic, partly majoritarian and partly proportional. Seventy-five percent of the assembly's members were elected in single-member constituencies through first-past-the-post voting with the remaining 25% of the Chamber of Deputies being elected through a proportional system using party lists.

The constituency was abolished, along with all the others that constituted the Chamber, with the promulgation of the subsequent electoral law, the so-called Calderoli Law. This provided for a proportional system with a majority bonus, which was awarded to the Chamber at the national level.

Boundaries

The Abbiategrasso constituency was one of the 74 single-member constituencies into which Lombardy was divided and, as provided for by the Legislative Decree of 20 December 1993 n. 536.[1] It was entirely contained in the province of Milan and included the following municipalities: Abbiategrasso, Albairate, Bareggio, Besate, Cassinetta di Lugagnano, Corbetta, Gudo Visconti, Magenta, Morimondo, Motta Visconti, Ozzero, Robecco sul Naviglio, Rosate, Sedriano, Vermezzo, Vittuone and Zelo Surrigone.
