Polling stations are also open in Molise. Today – Saturday – voting operations continue until 11pm and then resume tomorrow morning at 7am and again until 11pm. In all 136 municipalities of the region people vote for the European elections while in 56 of these centers (equal to just over 41 percent) we also vote for the municipal elections. A total of 305 thousand people from Molise are called to vote. However, this number also includes residents abroad and in Molise there are many. There are a total of 393 sections (of which 3 are in hospitals). The spotlight is on the cities, in fact both the capital goes to the vote Campobasso that Termoli. This is where the highest stakes for regional politics lie. However, not only large centers: many small towns are also going to the polls. In the list of 36 municipalities in the province of Campobasso called to elect mayors there are also demographically relevant centers such as Campomarino, Santa Croce di Magliano, San Martino in Pensilis, Riccia, Trivento, Petacciato, Ripalimosani.
Among the 20 municipalities at the polls for the administrative elections in the province of Isernia, the largest centers are Frosolone and Pozzilli. All the Municipalities go to vote for the expiry of the five-year mandate with only two exceptions, Petacciato and Pozzilli, municipalities which had renewed their local administrations in 2022 and 2020 respectively, but which return to the polls because their mayors, Roberto Di Pardo and Stefania Passarelli have meanwhile been elected regional councilors. The same thing happened to Campobasso and Termoli, with Roberto Gravina and Francesco Roberti, but in these two cases their mandate was at the end and therefore there is no early voting: the cities – led in the last year by their respective deputy mayors – return to the polls at the natural end of their mandate . Finally, different methods for the ballots. The European elections will take place directly tomorrow evening at 11pm, immediately after the polls close, while for the municipal elections we will have to wait until the following day: the ballots will be open starting from 2pm on Monday. And from that hour, as always, live and real-time results with the long electoral marathon in Telemolise.
