(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 31 - The first round of local elections and referendums will be held in Italy on June 12, ministerial sources said Thursday.
    The second round of the local electins across Italy will be two weeks later, on June 26.
    The referendums include one on abolishing the so-called Severino law that stops people definitively convicted of several serious crimes, including corruption, from being able to stand in European, national and regional elections for six years.
    This referendum was proposed by the League and Radicali parties.
    Ex-premier Silvio Berlusconi was ejected from the Senate in 2013 and was banned from running in elections for several years under the Severino law after being convicted in a tax-fraud case.
    Another referendum is about stopping prosecutors changing careers to become judges and vice-versa.
    Another two referendums regard cases in which people can be detained on remand and the election of the members of the judiciary's self-governing body, the CSM.
    The fifth referendum declared is on lawyers' voting to assess the performance of magistrates. (ANSA).
