The next election is scheduled to take place in 2027.
“I would like to get to the next election with the prime ministership reform approved and an electoral law tailored to it,” she told a news conference.
Under the current system in Italy, parties engage in government-formation talks after a general election and then the coalition that forms a ruling majority in parliament agrees on a figure to propose to the president to become prime minister.
That figure is not necessarily one of the politicians given by the parties as their PM candidate during the election campaign.
Meloni says the proposed reform to let Italians choose their prime ministers directly will lead to stronger and more stable governments in a country which has long been dogged by unstable revolving door administrations.
She has described the plan as the “mother of all reforms”.
