European elections 2024, polling stations open throughout Italy on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 June. How to vote in Lombardy: lists, candidates and preferences.
European elections 2024, voting is taking place throughout Italy to choose the political representatives in the European Parliament in the portion dedicated to the Peninsula. Polls open on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th June throughout Italy: to vote you must have a valid identity document accompanied by your electoral card.
Anyone who has lost it or needs to renew it can do so through the Municipality offices, even on election day. In addition to the European question, in 961 Municipalities of Lombardy there are also administrative elections. A double round that further animates this call to the polls: the forecasts, therefore, favor a greater turnout compared to the recent past.
European elections 2024, how to vote
Beyond the numbers, on which there will be time to reflect also thanks to the exit pools, it is good to know some particularities regarding the Lombard vote which retains a particular value.
Not only with respect to the numbers of those eligible, but also due to the lists and candidates available. In terms of preferences, in fact, it is possible to express up to three names. Provided that, in the choice, a variety of genres is included. Out of three names expressed, therefore, at least one woman or one man must be considered.
There cannot, therefore, be three women or three men. Another thing that cannot be done compared to the past is split voting: in other words, one cannot vote for a party and express a preference different from the candidates proposed by this or that political force. If you want to avoid cancellation, you must always vote consistently with the chosen symbol. The candidates and proposals are numerous: specifically, each party presents a large number of representatives.
