Over
twelve million
citizens are called to the polls, today and Monday, to choose governors and councils of two of the most important Italian regions:
Lazio and Lombardy
.
The polling stations to renew the two administrations will be open on Sunday 12 February from
7 to 23
and on Monday
13 from 7 to 15
.
The last electoral round for Lazio and Lombardy dates back to 4 March 2018.
THE GUIDE
In Lazio,
Alessio D'Amato (center-left and Third Pole), Francesco Rocca (center-right), Donatella Bianchi (M5s and other left-wing lists), Rosa Rinaldi (Popular Union) and Sonia Pecorilli (Italian Communist Party) will compete.
The Lazio regional council is made up of 50 councilors plus the president of the Region.
In Lombardy,
the outgoing Attilio Fontana (centre-right), Pierfrancesco Majorino (centre-left and M5s), Letizia Moratti (Third Pole) and Mara Ghidorzi (Unione Popolare) are running for governor.
The regional council is made up of 80 councilors including the president of the Region.
The ballot paper is green.
The elector has three options:
vote for the candidate for president
(and the choice does not extend to linked lists),
vote for candidate for president and a list
(in case of selection only on the list, the preference also extends to the candidate) or
opt for disjointed voting
, i.e. choosing a list and an unrelated gubernatorial candidate.
It is possible to express one or two preferences for candidates for the regional council: just write the candidate's surname, or name and surname, next to the symbol of the list to which he belongs.
If two preferences are expressed, they must concern two candidates of different sexes to respect the so-called gender equality.
If two men or two women are chosen, the second choice will be cancelled.
Counting will begin on Monday immediately after the polls close.
