The vote will take place in compliance with the anti-covid-19 rules provided for by the Internal Health Protocol of 7 August 2020. To access the polling stations, the use of masks by all voters and any other person entitled to access to the seat. Upon access, the voter must sanitize their hands with hydroalcoholic gel made available near the door. Then, after having approached the components of the seat for identification and before receiving the card and the pencil, he will sanitize his hands again. Once the voting operations have been completed, further cleansing of the hands is recommended before leaving the polling station.
In Matera, Pd and M5s aim to overturn the result of the first round which sees the center-right candidate, Rocco Luigi Sassone, in the lead with 30.3% over the M5s candidate, Domenico Bennardi, at 27.6%. The new leaders of the Democratic Party, after the resignation of the local secretary, gave clear indications to the dem electorate to converge on the Five Star. The biggest unknown from a numerical and political point of view, needle of the balance of the competition, will be the vote of those voters who in the first round recognized themselves in the center-left candidate Giovanni Schiuma and in particular in the Democratic Party.
Reversed parts, however, in Chieti where the Pd candidate, Diego Ferrara, hopes in the contribution of the M5s electorate to recover ground on the candidate of the right, Fabrizio Di Stefano. In the Abruzzo city, however, the enterprise for the center-left appears prohibitive: a perfect transfer of votes from the M5s to the Pd, in fact, could lead to the dem a maximum of 6.7%, as obtained by the grillino. In favor of the center-right candidate, the third place, Bruno Di Iorio, who had obtained more than 20% of the votes, was implicitly expressed – “you understand who I will vote for”.
