According to WIKIPEDIA this was setup for the 1934 general election. Here's the blurb:

"The election was a plebiscite; voters could vote "Yes" or "No" to approve or disapprove the list of deputies nominated by the Grand Council of Fascism.

The voter was provided with two equal-sized sheets, white outside, inside bearing the words "Do you approve the list of members appointed by the Grand National Council of Fascism?" The "Yes" ballot paper was decorated with the Italian tricolour and a fasces, the "No" paper was plain.

The voter would be presented with both ballot papers, choosing one of the two and discarding the other in the voting booth. He would then fold over his chosen paper and present it to the electoral officials to ensure it was sealed. The process would not be considered free and fair by modern standards."

As you can see in the photo, the pressure to vote Yes (SI), would have been pretty, pretty strong.

Thank god no current politicians insist on giant mockups of their face on government buildings. That would be very weird.
