Overview

• Incumbent Eugenio Giani, backed by a broad centre-left slate including PD, M5S, Avs and Casa Riformista, led pre‑vote polls well ahead of centre‑right challenger Alessandro Tomasi, with Antonella Bundu in single digits.
• Turnout reached 27.78% at 19:00 on 1,768 of 3,922 sections after a 12:00 reading of 9.72%, confirming a marked drop versus the same points in 2020.
• Polling stations are open Sunday 7:00–23:00 and Monday 7:00–15:00, with a runoff set for 26 October if no candidate attains at least 40%.
• Ballots allow split‑ticket voting, and both the Democratic Party and the Lega are using a regional blocked list in Tuscany in this cycle.
• Centre‑right leaders closed the campaign with a joint rally in Florence featuring sharp attacks on the left, as internal Lega tensions tied to Roberto Vannacci’s role lingered.
