Vote counting underway after key Sardinia poll. 758,252 Sardinians out of 1,447,753 eligible voters had reportedly turned out to cast their ballot in the elections that are being seen as a bellwether for national politics.
The competition is essentially between centre-right governorcandidate Paolo Truzzu and Alessandra Todde, the candidate for the so-called 'broad field' alliance between the centre-left Democratic Party and the populist left-wing 5-Star Movement.
