The counting of ballots in the regional elections in Sardinia is proceeding slowly.
Two and a half hours after the start of operations, no official data has yet been provided by the Region.
Meanwhile, data is emerging, but naturally unofficial, from the parties and their representatives at the polls.
According to data provided by the 5 Star Movement, the candidate of the M5s-Pd broad-based camp Alessandra Todde is ahead of Paolo Truzzu of the centre-right in four sections in Cagliari and one in Porto Torres.
Third Renato Soru with the Sardinian Coalition, last Lucia Chessa di Sardigna R-existe.
The polls are open from this morning at
7am for the counting of ballot papers in Sardinia where yesterday the vote was taken to elect the governor and renew the regional council.
The members of the 1844 sections will have 12 hours, until 7pm, to complete all the activities with the results.
If there are sections that have not completed their work, the packages with all the cards and registers will be closed inside sealed envelopes and will be transferred to the courts of the territorial districts which will complete the operations and verify all the results.
