Overview
- Polls are open today and Monday for about 13 million voters to choose new governors and councils in the three regions.
- Pre‑election reporting points to a centre‑right hold in Veneto (Alberto Stefani vs Giovanni Manildo) and a centre‑left edge in Puglia (Antonio Decaro vs Luigi Lobuono), with Campania (Roberto Fico vs Edmondo Cirielli) the most uncertain contest.
- Campania’s race features active split‑vote messaging on social media and late‑campaign frictions, including Vincenzo De Luca’s threat of legal action over a Report broadcast.
- Party dynamics are in focus, with Fratelli d’Italia, the League and Forza Italia competing for primacy inside the right, and PD–M5S relations tested by candidate performances.
- Voters use a single ballot that permits split voting; counting begins after polls close at 3 p.m. Monday, with results watched for signals ahead of the 2027 national contest.
