There are 104,601 (49,626 males and 54,976 females) citizens voting in the polling stations in the Estense area for the European elections and 106,937 (50,764 males and 56,173 females) for the municipal elections. The difference is due to the fact that, although there are a total of 106,563 voters for both the European and municipal elections, in the European elections 2,092 voters abroad (Aire and temporary) and 40 students voting outside the region must be removed and 170 added between added community lists and off-site students domiciled in Ferrara, while for the municipal elections the voters increased by 355 units for the added community lists and by 19 units for those of Bolzano (citizens who have moved their residence to Bolzano but who cannot vote in that province if they have not resided there for at least four years).
