Polls also open for the maxi electoral round today and tomorrow for the European elections and for the local elections: voting today from 3pm to 11pm and tomorrow from 7am to 11pm.

In Brescia there is a small case: ballots for the European elections with defects were reported in some polling stations in the city center of Brescia. They would be folded before the ink was dry and this created dubbed symbols. The Municipality of Brescia has reported the case to the Prefecture, and is waiting for indications.
On a day without shocks and with slow turnout, as was expected, in the evening Umberto Bossi gave me a small shock: «Umberto Bossi just called me. Even though it was late, he asked me to let people know what he will vote for, I will limit myself to reporting what he asked me to do and let people know: Umberto Bossi will vote for Reguzzoni because the League has been betrayed” declared the former secretary of the Lombard League in the evening Paolo Grimoldi. The Senatur would therefore have chosen to vote for Marco Reguzzoni, a member of the Northern Committee who is now an independent candidate on the Forza Italia lists for the North-West constituency. An irregular communication on election day where propaganda would be prohibited.
THE SPECIAL REPUBLIC ELECTIONS
For those who have lost their voter card or no longer have spaces available, the information is here.
And for the first time, non-resident students who had already registered can also vote: 4,979 university students will be able to use the special polling stations set up at the Cattolica and the Polytechnic.
Together with the European elections today and tomorrow we will also vote for the administrative elections in 961 Lombardy municipalities out of 1,502. Of these, only 37 exceed the threshold of 15 thousand inhabitants, necessary to go to the ballot on 23 and 24 June, in the event that no candidate exceeds 50 percent of the votes in the first round.
In the Milan area there are 68 municipalities voting, of which several could go to a run-off. Among these are Cesano Boscone, Trezzano, Paderno Dugnano, Rozzano, Peschiera Borromeo, Cormano, Lainate, Novate Milanese and Settimo Milanese. For three municipalities, Agrate Brianza, in the Monzese area, Casalpusterlengo (Lodi) and Concesio (Brescia), double-round voting will debut, because the growth in residents has led to the threshold of 15 thousand inhabitants being exceeded.
There are a total of 2,212 candidates in Lombardy competing for the tricolor band. But the main challenges will be held in the capitals: Pavia, administered by the centre-right, Cremona and Bergamo, so far led by the centre-left.
