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.
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.
