		Approximately three-quarters of the deputies in each district are elected in single-member colleges; PR is used to choose the remaining one-quarter, except in Valle d'Aosta, which elects one deputy in a single-member constituency.
		Chamber single-member colleges are filled by the plurality or first-past-the-post method, under which the candidate obtaining the largest number of votes in each college is elected.
		To illustrate the functioning of the reformed electoral system, the results of the May, 2001 Chamber election in the entire country and the tenth electoral district, formed by the Liguria region (which extends over the Italian Riviera and surrounding areas), are presented here in detail.
