According to the source, the index is based on electoral process and pluralism, functioning of government, political participation and culture as well as civil liberties. The electoral process and pluralism was given 9.58 points, a very high score. However, Italy received lower scores in the government's functioning (6.43 points).

2. Flawed democracies: scores greater than 6, and less than or equal to 8
3. Hybrid regimes: scores greater than 4, and less than or equal to 6
