ROME—Italians began voting Sunday morning in elections that will determine who will steer the country through Europe’s worsening energy crisis and its confrontation with Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
A right-wing coalition is widely expected to win a comfortable majority in Parliament, according to opinion polls, a result that would likely pave the way for Giorgia Meloni, a politician with a far-right background, to succeed Mario Draghi as Italy’s prime minister. Mr. Draghi, a technocrat who led a bipartisan coalition, isn’t running in the election.
