Low turnout for two-day plebiscite aimed at granting faster citizenship to immigrants garners below 50% threshold needed to pass

Italians are heading to the polls Monday on the second day of referendums that would make it easier for children born in Italy to foreigners to obtain citizenship, and on providing more job protections.

Less than a third of eligible voters turned out for a poll that would have made it easier for foreigners to become citizens, and strengthened labor rights.
