Bill to cut Senate voting age to 18

(ANSA) - Rome, Ovctober 23 - A bill to change the Italian constitution and cut the Senate voting age from 25 to 18 was filed at the Senate Constitutional Affairs committee Wednesday after being approved by the House earlier this year.
    The bipartisan bill would give the right to vote in Senators to 4.13 million Italian under-25s, sources said.
    The bill would lower the Senate voting age to the same as that for the House.
    Since it is a constitutional reform, the bill must be passed in the same form twice in each chamber of parliament.
    It must muster a two-thirds majority, or else be subject to a referendum.
    The bill was filed by the ruling anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S).
    Another three Constitutional reforms were also filed in the package.
