4.5 million voters are called to vote. In the previous administrative consultations, 60% had voted
Second day of voting for administrative elections in 595 Italian cities: 4.5 million voters they are called to express their preferences in what appears to be the first test after policies. Polling stations reopened at 7 on Monday: it will be possible to go to the polls until 3 pm, then the counting will begin. Voting is taking place in 13 provincial capitals (Ancona, Brescia, Brindisi, Imperia, Latina, Massa, Pisa, Siena, Sondrio, Teramo, Terni, Treviso and Vicenza), and any ballot is scheduled for Sunday 28 and Monday 29 May (in Trentino and Valle d’Aosta the vote will take place on 21 May, in Sicily and Sardinia on 28 and 29 May). The turnout in sharp decline: at 11 pm it stood at 46.39%, almost 14 points lower than in the previous elections in which 59.89% of those entitled had voted.
Eight capitals of the centre-right, five of the centre-left Eight of the provincial capitals are currently governed by the centre-right and five by the centre-left, while Latina is governed by a prefectural commissioner following the fall of the centre-left administration led by Damiano Colletta last year.
Ancona Ancona is the only regional capital at the polls. In the Marche city – the outgoing mayor is Laura Mancinelli (Pd) – Ida Simonella (centre-left) and Daniele Silvetti (centre-right) challenge each other, while the 5 Star Movement supports Francesco Rubini.
Massa In addition to Latina (where the outgoing Coletta returns), the anomalous situation also in Massa, where the center-right mayor Francesco Persiani – the first in the history of the city – was discouraged on March 1st. He is running again for this round with Lega, Forza Italia and civic lists; However, Fratelli d’Italia supports another name, Marco Guidi. The centre-left tries to win back Massa with Enzo Romolo Ricci. Just in Massa, during an electoral rally, the leader M5s Giuseppe Conte was attacked by a No vax in the square.
Pisa The two main opposition forces in Parliament are united in Pisa, where there is a convergence between the Pd, 5 Stars and the United Left in support of Paolo Martinelli, who challenges the outgoing mayor, center-right, Michele Conti.
Teramo In Teramo Pd and 5 Stelle are together behind the outgoing mayor, Gianguido D’Alberto; Carlo Antonetti challenges him for the centre-right.
Toasts In Brindisi, neither the centre-right nor the centre-left managed to express joint candidacies. Pd and M5s will support Roberto Fusco, while the outgoing mayor Riccardo Rossi is supported by only one list: Brindisi Bene Comune – Alleanza Verdi Sinistra. For the center-right, Giuseppe Marchionna is the candidate of Forza Italia, Fratelli D’Italia and Lega, while Pasquale Luperti is supported by Movimento Regione Salento and Equality of the city.
Imperia Curiosity in Imperia, where the outgoing center-right Claudio Scajola, former Minister of the Interior, is challenged – for the center-left – by the deputy police commissioner Ivan Bracco, who since 2010 has investigated Scajola for six different investigations, all archived except one, the one in which the politician would have favored the disappearance of former deputy Amedeo Matacena (in the first instance he was sentenced to two years).
