For the regional elections in Piedmont at 7pm 47.5% of those entitled to vote voted, according to the data released by the Viminale Eligendo platform. The definitive data on turnout will be released at 11pm, the closing time of the polls.

The turnout recorded by the Interior Ministry in the regional elections in Piedmont at 7pm today was 47.54%. According to the data published on the “Eligendo” portal (relating to 4,781 out of 4,795), the province where the most votes were cast was that of Biella with 52.32% while the one which recorded the lowest turnout was Alessandria with 46.13 .

At 7 pm, 47.54% of the right events voted for the regional elections in Piedmont. The turnout data can be consulted on the Eligendo platform of the Ministry of the Interior.

According to still partial data on the turnout in the regional elections in Piedmont, at 7 pm 46.76% of those entitled to vote had voted.

There are five candidates for the presidency of the Piedmont Region. First of all there is the outgoing governor, Alberto Cirioa member of Forza Italia and supported by the entire centre-right. Gianna Pentenero, former municipal councilor in Turin, is instead the candidate of the centre-left, supported both by the Democratic Party and by the Green and Left Alliance and by the United States of Europe. The Five Star Movement has decided to run alone with Sarah Disabatocurrent group leader in the Region. Alberto Costanzo he is instead supported by Cateno De Luca’s Libertà list. In the end Francesca Fredianiwho left the M5s and is an activist of the No Tav movement, runs with the popular Piedmont list.

After the electoral law was changed in 2023, between yesterday and today in Piedmont we will vote with the new rules: the candidate who receives the most votes will be elected president, without the provision of a second round. In other words, he won’t go to the ballot.

The polling stations in Piedmont, to vote for the renewal of the Regional Council and the President of the Council, will remain open until 11.00 pm.

In Piedmont, voting today for the regional elections as well as the European ones, the next data on voter turnout will arrive around 7pm. For the definitive one, however, we will have to wait until 11pm, when the polls close.

There are 50 councilors in the Piedmont Regional Council. Of these, 40 will be elected by the proportional method, and divided between the various constituencies. The other ten seats will instead be assigned using the majority method, to allow the new president’s list or coalition to have a solid majority in the Region. The Turin constituency assigns 21 seats, because it is by far the one with the largest number of inhabitants. The breakdown is this:

• Turin, 21 councillors
• Alessandria, 4 councilors
• Asti, 2 councilors
• Biella, 2 councilors
• Cuneo, 5 councilors
• Novara, 3 councilors
• Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, a councilor
• Vercelli, 2 councilors

In a polling station in Torrazza Piemonte, in the province of Turin, a ballot was found already pre-filled and ready to be inserted into the ballot box. It is a mechanism to control the vote, which obviously violates the basic principles of the electoral system. The polling station president temporarily suspended voting operations and ordered a check of the certified ballots.

The President of the Region in Piedmont is chosen by direct vote of the voters, in a single round election. This means that there is no runoff: whoever gets the most votes is president, regardless of the percentages achieved. To allow the winner to govern even if he gets less than half of the votes, the electoral law provides that the new president’s list or coalition has at least 55% of the seats in the Regional Council.

Francesca Frediani is 50 years old and has been a regional councilor since 2014. Having entered the Council with the 5 Star Movement and re-elected in 2019, during her second term she left the M5s and created her own group. Frediani was born in Genoa, but she is known above all for her closeness to the battles of the No Tav movement in Val Susa. In the elections you are running with Piemonte Popolare, a regional ‘offshoot’ of the Unione Popolare, of which you are part.

Alberto Costanzo is a lawyer born in 1962, author of some publications on European Union law. His political past included him first with the National Alliance, which he left in 2001, and then as a candidate from various ‘anti-system’ lists. In the past, for example, he ran as mayor of Casale Monferrato also with the support of Casapound, while in the last political elections he was on the Italexit list. At the regional elections in Piedmont, however, he is supported by Libertà, the list launched by Cateno De Luca which brings together South calls North but also various other sides.

At 35 years old, Sarah Disabato is the youngest presidential candidate running in these regional elections. She is the current group leader of the 5 Star Movement in the Regional Council, and the M5s chose her as a candidate after the split with the Democratic Party. In 2014, at the age of 25, Disabato entered the municipal council of Collegno (Turin), again with the Movement. Since 2019 you have been part of the Regional Council.

Gianna Pentenero, born on 8 June 1964, was councilor of the Municipality of Turin until the start of the electoral campaign, when she resigned in order to be able to fully commit herself as a centre-left candidate. She also has a past as a regional councilor, for Labor and then for Education. She was mayor of the municipality of Castelborgone, in the province of Turin, for three terms between the 1990s and 2000s.

Alberto Cirio, born in Turin on 6 December 1972, is the regional president currently in office and is running for a second consecutive mandate with the centre-right. During his career he was a municipal councilor and deputy mayor in Alba, in the province of Cuneo, regional councilor and councilor of Piedmont from 2010 to 2014 and European parliamentarian from 2014 to 2019, when he was elected president of the region for the first time. He is currently also one of the deputy secretaries of Forza Italia.

According to the definitive data, at 12:00 on Sunday 9 June the turnout for the regional elections in Piedmont was 29.2%. The turnout was 17.6% last night, the highest percentage in the province of Biella where 33% of voters went to the polls. The lowest in Verbano-Cusio-Ossola where a turnout of 28% was recorded. Here is the data on turnout for the regional elections being updated.

For the regional elections in Piedmont, as well as for all other electoral events taking place today, the first data on today’s turnout is expected around 12:00. After midday, therefore, the percentage of voters who have gone to vote so far will be known. The polls will remain open until 11pm this evening, when they will close permanently. Unlike what happened in some cases in the past, it will not be possible to go and vote tomorrow.
