The polling stations of the 41 municipalities that went to the polls for the election of the mayor and renewal of the municipal chamber in the first round of May 14 and 15 are open from 7:00 am. Among them are also 7 capitals: Vicenza, Massa, Pisa, Siena, Terni, Ancona and Brindisi. The polling stations for the administrative elections will be open until 23:00 today and will reopen tomorrow from 7:00 to 15:00. The citizens involved are a total of 1 million 340 thousand 688.
In addition, polling stations open at 7 am in the 128 municipalities of Sicily and 39 of Sardinia, where votes are held for the renewal of the mayor and city council. They will work today until 23:00 and reopen tomorrow morning from 07:00 to 15:00, starting the countdown right after. Among the 128 Sicilian municipalities, four are provincial capitals: Catania, Siracusa, Ragusa and Trapani. In 113 seats, those relating to municipalities with less than 15,000 inhabitants, the voting system will be the majority, while the remaining 15 will vote proportionally and the eventual rounds will take place on the 11th and 12th of June. In Sardinia, only two of the 39 voting municipalities, Assemini and Iglesias, have more than 15,000 inhabitants and any second round will always be on the 11th and 12th of June. An important challenge for the centre-right, who want to confirm their results and take another blow to the left.
