ROME (Reuters) - Italy's constitutional court will hear an appeal against the electoral law to be used in this month's elections for the European Parliament, posing a risk that the result could be altered after the election.

A court in Venice decided on Friday to transfer to the constitutional court an appeal against the law brought by a private citizen, who argued that the threshold of 4 percent of votes needed to elect representatives was unconstitutional.
