Voters of the autonomous provinces of Trento and Bolzano were called to the polls for the renewal of the two provincial assemblies. Voting centers are open from 7 am to 9 pm in Alto Adige and from 6 am to 10 pm in Trentino. Counting will begin immediately when the polls close in Alto Adige, while in Trentino they will have to wait until 7 a.m. on Monday, October 23. There are 16 candidates for president of the autonomous province of Bolzano, 7 of them from pro-local autonomy parties and the others from national party lists. The most important pro-autonomy party is Sudtiroler Volkspartei (SVP). There are 429,841 voters in South Tyrol and 441,510 voters in Trentino.
There are 7 presidential candidates from a total of 24 lists for the autonomous state of Trento. As Trentotoday explains, the view in the province of Trentino is that we are moving towards the re-approval of president Maurizio Fugatti, who is supported by Lega, Fratelli d’Italia, Forza Italia and UDC, but rival Francesco Valduga believes a head-to-head confrontation is necessary. until the final vote. The real challenge for Fugatti will be to confirm the eleven seats from five years ago after bridging the divide on the centre-right and abandoning former Northern League senator Sergio Divina, who presented his own list.
