In Bergamo, the last figure to arrive, 21.25% of those entitled to vote voted as declared by the Ministry of the Interior. The Lombard figure for the administrative elections is 19.49%: this means that the Bergamo area is a few percentage points below the regional average, because 19.43% of those entitled to vote in the city and province voted.

The municipalities with the highest turnout are three territories where the mayor also votes: Foppolo with 33.56%, Cornello room with 30.60% e Island of Fondra with 29.87%.

Observing the data of the large municipalities voting, it is noted Dalmine with 18.24%, Albino with 19.50%, Roman with 19.40%, Serious with 19.09%, Osio Sotto with 17.32%, Scanzo with 18.19%, Stezzano with 20.21% and finally Treviolo with 19.84%.

Observing the constantly decreasing trend of the latest electoral rounds for the European elections, the hypothesis that even less than 50% of voters might go to vote does not appear at all remote given the first day of voting. According to pollsters, election day with the administrative elections could somehow contain the “empty ballot boxes” phenomenon, but after the negative turnout record of 54.5% in 2019, the non-voting party still appears destined to confirm itself as the leading party.

It is no coincidence that the Head of State also recently underlined the importance of going to the polls: «A great exercise in democracy – said Sergio Mattarella – in which hundreds of millions of voters have the opportunity and the related responsibility to become protagonists of their future.” “To undecided citizens – Giorgia Meloni also recently said – I would like to say: go and vote because Europe takes care of their daily lives much more than they think.”

The Prime Minister’s invitation was therefore to “not look the other way”. Moreover, analysts and parties are looking at the turnout trend. Also to understand how much and how it will have an impact if the usual lack of homogeneity of the Italian territory were to be confirmed, which generally sees greater participation in the vote in the North.

In the 2019 European elections, for example, for the North East and North West constituencies over 60% of citizens voted, in the South 46% voted and in the islands it even dropped to 35%. A low turnout in the South could, therefore, penalize the parties that have a greater pool of votes in those areas such as the M5s (which in the last European elections came close to 30% in the Southern constituency, while in the others it stood overall at just over 17%) . The League, protagonist of an exploit in the last European round (reached 34.2% in total, with peaks of 40% in the North East and West), in the duel on percentages with the allies of Forza Italia (12% in the South in the last election compared to the overall 8.7), could benefit from a greater turnout in the North. A low presence at the polls could also favor the larger parties which have a more widespread electorate across the territory. Finally, it remains to be understood how much the turnout will weigh on the little ones who struggled with the 4% threshold.

An interesting data to evaluate will also be that of turnout based on age groups. Meanwhile, 267,830 eighteen-year-olds will vote for the first time. In a Europe with a turnout driven by young people, in fact, in the last European round the figure for Italy marked a negative record. And the figure for non-resident students who, unlike non-resident workers, for the first time this year can vote without moving from the place where they study does not bode too well: they are 23,734 because only 4% of the population has submitted the application.
