The polls are reopening today for the regional elections in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The audience fell sharply. At 23:00 yesterday, 35 percent of the right holders voted. The drop is significant if you compare it to what 49.65% voted at 11 p.m. five years ago in 2018; If it is a partial session, voting took place in a single day.
Voting continues until 3 pm today, with four candidates for District presidency: outgoing governor Massimiliano Fedriga, supported and overwhelmed by the centre-right, Massimo Moretuzzo, supported by the Pd, M5s and other centre-left lists; Alessandro Maran, candidate for the Third Pole; Finally, Giorgia Tripoli is supported by the Liberi Together list. Voting was also held for the renewal of the administrations of 24 municipalities, 12 of which are in the province of Udine. For Udine and Sacile, municipalities with more than 15,000 inhabitants, the possible voting round will take place over two weeks, Sunday, April 16, and Monday, April 17.
Interest in election assignment at the national level is minimal, mostly because the outcome is clear. In the last general elections, the centre-right was close to 50%. In 2018, Massimiliano Fedriga won with 57.09% of the vote. There will be no twists and turns. It has been known for months that Fedriga, the governor of the Northern League, will definitely win. Given the growth of the Brothers of Italy, there’s a pinch of curiosity on the centre-right about internal balance (which will most likely actually make him want the vice presidency at the expense of Forza Italia), but the League is hoping to even out the Melonians by adding their votes to the president’s civilian list. The Democratic Party, which has long held an 18% share in these segments, aims to grow in a renewed wave of interest among progressive voters in the fate of the main centre-left party after Elly Schlein’s victory in the primary elections. Aim for 20 percent.
The counting of the local elections will begin on Monday, April 3, at 15.00, with the closing of the polls, and immediately after the counting of the municipal elections. The person who receives the most valid votes (relative majority) will be elected as the Regional President. Lists linked to the president-elect are entitled to 60% of the seats if the candidate received more than 45% of the valid votes, or 55% if the candidate received 45% or less of the valid votes. .
