Veneto, Campania and Puglia Vote Sunday–Monday; Stefani and Decaro Lead, Campania in Play

Different electoral rules and majority bonuses could turn similar vote shares into sharply different council majorities.

Overview

  • Polling stations open from 7:00 to 23:00 on Sunday 23 November and from 7:00 to 15:00 on Monday 24 November for about 13 million eligible voters across the three regions.
  • Pre‑blackout surveys indicated a wide advantage for Alberto Stefani in Veneto and a clear lead for Antonio Decaro in Puglia, with publication of new polls prohibited in the final days.
  • Campania remains the most competitive contest, with Roberto Fico backed by the centre‑left and M5S facing centre‑right candidate Cirielli.
  • All three regions allow split‑ticket voting, and thresholds and bonuses vary, including Veneto’s 60% council majority for the winner’s camp if the presidential vote tops 40% and Puglia’s variable bonus tied to coalition vote share.
  • In Veneto, the centre‑right’s internal stakes include a close race for list primacy between Lega and Fratelli d’Italia that could shape the next regional administration.
