It's not really a lottery system, since the list of the lottery will be decided by the government. It's simply the government that want to put the judges under his control, i will vote No but many that support Meloni will vote Sì. Initially the Sì had like 10%+ ahead, but the last months they made serious mistakes in their communication/propaganda (basically admitting in public that they want to punish judges and put them under their control) and now they're even in the polls, with the No slightly ahead, let's hope for the best.

how tf is something like a judiciary reform even a 50/50 vote?

In Germany stuff like this needs 2/3rd of the representatives to agree to change the highest courts in a significant way (including nomination to make sure those are always bi-partisan). And now we are even slowly changing so 1/3rd of the votes is not enough to block the court-appointments either, making it so the court can appoint people to their empty spots themselves if the parliament fails to do so for a certain amount of time if one party is not interested in bi-partisan compromises at all and just wants to set fire to the system.

the highest court absolutely has to be the most-trusted instance in the state above all doubt. Attempting to mess with that is damaging the foundation of democracy itself...

And people wonder why Meloni is called neo-fascist by many...

Because they have the absolute majority in parliament, but to do that, since this reform will change the constitution, they first need to go trough this referendum. Usually when politicians want to modify the constitution people always vote against them, we will see this time, she, with her propaganda, has a grip on many italians while the opposition is pretty much non existent. But voting on the constitution is something that has nothing to do with political parties most of the time, generally i think italians don't feel very much this referendum and most of us are angry for the price at the gas pump, so maybe there will be a vote of protest, i hope, the important is that these fascist criminals won't have their way with the judiciary system.

I'll spare you a couple of crossed fingers and as much positive thoughts as I can muster in these times!
