At the weekend we vote for the election of the members of the European Parliament and, in Piedmont, for the election of the members of the Regional Council and the President of the Regional Council.

To vote you need a personal identification document and a personal permanent voter card.
It is therefore useful to ensure that you are in possession of the electoral card and if it has been lost, if it is damaged or the spaces available for affixing the polling station stamp are exhausted, you must request a duplicate or a new card.
