TuttoItalia launches Politica, the new column dedicated to the deadlines and rights that concern Italians in Switzerland. We start with the only election in which the ballot arrives at home by post, provided you ask for it in time

On 3 December, voting takes place for the COMITES elections (Committees of Italians Abroad), bodies elected by Italians resident in Switzerland that represent their needs in dealings with the consular offices. To be able to vote, you must register on the electoral rolls at your reference consulate by 3 November.
