Giorgia Meloni’s allies are exploring changes to Italy’s election laws that would boost her reelection odds, as internal polls show she may struggle to retain a majority in the upper house of parliament.

The prime minister is at risk of a stalemate in Italy’s Senate after the next general election, according to the polls. In response, the government is considering legal proposals that could help Meloni’s team secure more parliament seats, according to people familiar with the matter.
