Luiss Live Polls: The University's Special Election on Monday, September 21

Luiss Live Polls

Luiss Guido Carli, in collaboration with Sky TG24, the Master’s in Journalism and Multimedia Communication, Luiss CISE, the Luiss School of Government, and Radio Luiss, is organizing Luiss Live Polls for Monday, September 21: an Election Special to follow and comment on the Constitutional Referendum and the Regional Elections live from the university’s School of Journalism, located at Viale Pola, 12.

From 2:30 PM to 10:00 PM, the School's classrooms will transform into an open space where, in complete safety, faculty, researchers, and students—along with journalists and other guests joining virtually—will participate in talks and debates about the initial exit poll results and the future political landscape in our country. Many topics will be covered, ranging from the geopolitics of voters to the youth vote, and from the regional economies to the implications for future structures.

There will be numerous opportunities for in-depth discussion on Luiss’s YouTube and Facebook channels, including 15-minute debates with expert constitutionalists, economists, and political scientists from the university, moderated by Radio Luiss staff and students from the Master’s in Journalism and Multimedia Communication. There will also be numerous links to “Voto 2020,” Sky TG24's election marathon, which will air for over 24 hours starting at 2:30 p.m. on September 21.
