The 2018 Italian general election is due to be held on 4 March 2018 after Parliament was dissolved on 28 December 2017.

Voters will elect the 630 members of the Chamber of Deputies and the 315 elective members of the Senate of the Republic for the 18th term of the Italian Parliament.

At the 2013 general election none of the three main groupings, the centre-right led by Silvio Berlusconi, the centre-left led by Pier Luigi Bersani and the Five Star Movement (M5S) led by Beppe Grillo, won an outright majority in Parliament.

After a failed attempt by Bersani, then-secretary of the Democratic Party (PD), to form a government and Giorgio Napolitano's re-election as President, Enrico Letta, Bersani's deputy, received the task of forming a grand coalition government. The Letta Cabinet consisted of the PD, Berlusconi's The People of Freedom (PdL) which would be replaced by the New Centre-Right (NCD) in November 2013, Civic Choice (SC), the Union of the Centre (UdC), one Radical and three independents.
