The polls are officially closed and counting operations have now begun. In the province of Avellino, including the capital city, there are 42 municipalities ready to announce the name of the new mayor. In the European elections, the final percentage of voters in Irpinia is less than 50%, with peaks in Domicella (86.72%) and Taurano (82.46%). Turnout was particularly low in Alta Irpinia, especially in Guardia Lombardi, Teora and Sant’Angelo dei Lombardi, where only 20% of those eligible went to the polls. The situation is different for the municipal elections, with an average of 65% participation in Irpinia. In the city, 69.34% voted, with the peak turnout in Taurasi (80%), Domicella (83.76%) and Candida (80.97%), all municipalities where the outcome was predictable.
