Overview
- Polling stations reopen Monday and close at 15:00, with roughly 13 million eligible voters choosing regional presidents and councils.
- Interior Ministry data at 23:00 Sunday recorded participation at 33.88% in Veneto, 32.09% in Campania and 29.45% in Puglia, all well below 2020 levels.
- Media and pre‑election polling have long pointed to Alberto Stefani in Veneto for the centre‑right and Roberto Fico and Antonio Decaro in Campania and Puglia for the centre‑left, though final counts are pending.
- The contests double as tests inside coalitions, including a Lega–Fratelli d’Italia race for primacy in Veneto, centre‑right pecking‑order stakes in Campania, and centre‑left dynamics tied to Vincenzo De Luca’s ‘A testa alta’ list.
- Election day saw tensions reported, with vandalism at a Fratelli d’Italia office in Veneto, a doxxing complaint involving a Campania candidate, and accusations of silence‑period breaches targeting Fico.
