  Chamber of Deputies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chamber of Deputies is the name given to a legislative body, be it the lower house of a bicameral legislature, or the name of a unicameral legislature.
Historically, France's "Chamber of Deputies" was the lower house of parliament during the Bourbon Restoration, July Monarchy and French Third Republic; the name is still informally used for the National Assembly under the nation's current Fifth Republic.
The term "Chamber of Deputies" is not widely used by English-speaking countries, the more popular equivalent being House of Representatives, although it was used as the name of the lower house of parliament in Burma, a former British colony.

 Election Resources on the Internet: Elections to the Italian Parliament
Voter turnout in Italy proper stood at 83.5% for the Senate and 83.6% for the Chamber of Deputies.
Chamber seats awarded to a coalition are in turn proportionally allocated among constituent parties that have obtained at least two percent of the vote; however, this requirement is waived for the coalition party with the largest number of votes among those polling fewer than two percent.
Chamber seats in Italy proper are subsequently distributed among twenty-six multi-member districts - the same districts used under the previous electoral system - following a set of complex procedures designed to insure that seats are filled in all districts without changing the nationwide distribution of seats or the apportionment of seats among districts.

Italy has been a democratic republic since June 2, 1946, when the monarchy was abolished by popular referendum.
The 1948 constitution established a bicameral parliament (Chamber of Deputies and Senate), a separate judiciary, and an executive branch composed of a Council of Ministers (cabinet), headed by the president of the council (prime minister).
Under 1993 legislation, Italy has single-member districts for 75% of the seats in parliament; the remaining 25% of seats are allotted on a proportional basis.

 Italian Parliament Votes For New World Financial System
The resolution is the conclusion of a series of Parliamentary motions and resolutions of important Italian cities, all initiated by the LaRouche movement in Italy; it represents a compromise motivated by the intention of achieving unanimity among all political parties.
The original motion was presented first in the Senate last March, by Sen. Oskar Peterlini, and eventually in the lower house of parliament, the Chamber of Deputies, by Rep. Sigfried Brugger, a member of Senator Peterlini's parliamentary faction.
It soon became clear that the motion had a great potential for a large bipartisan majority, and it was thus decided, with the support of Chamber of Deputies Chairman Ferdinando Casini, to seek a unanimous vote of approval, such that it would have a maximum impact on government foreign economic policy.
