Declining turnout at the 2023 Municipal elections: at 12, just over 14% voted. At the previous administrations it was 19%

Another decline in attendance. This is the figure that emerges from the partial turnout at 12 in today’s and tomorrow’s administrative elections in 800 Italian municipalities, 17 of which are provincial capitals. These are Ancona, Brescia, Sondrio, Treviso, Vicenza, Imperia, Massa, Pisa, Siena, Terni, Latina, Teramo, Brindisi, Catania, Ragusa, Syracuse and Trapani. Polling stations are open from 7, but according to partial data from the Viminale (5,399 seats out of 5,426) at noon 14.20% voted against 19.33 per cent in the previous round. Five points less which currently demonstrate a decline in participation, as already happened in the last political and regional elections.

In the municipal challenge, the center-right starts with the advantage: at the moment it has 9 cities in hand, while the center-left governs only 6; two others are under commissioner and another is administered by an Action mayor.

In Abruzzo, the final figure for the turnout stops at 15.11 per cent against 20.04 in the previous polls. In Basilicata 12.27 percent of those entitled voted, against 16.31 in the previous round.

The turnout is lower (13.38%) in the nine Municipalities where people vote in the Alessandria area. The province of Turin is at 13.74%.
