Attendance update at 12pm on Sunday
At 12pm on Sunday the turnout was 14.54% in the province of Perugia and 15.60% in the province of Terni (Orvieto was the only municipality to vote).
We return to the polls in the five Umbrian municipalities called to the ballot to elect their mayors. The polling stations will be open on Sunday from 7 am to 11 pm and on Monday from 7 am to 3 pm in Perugia, Foligno, Bastia Umbra, Gubbio and – the only city in the province of Terni – Orvieto, for a total of approximately 235 thousand citizens called to vote. In these five municipalities with over 1,5 thousand inhabitants, no candidate obtained 50% + 1 of the votes in the first round and therefore now the tricolor bracket will be played out in the two-person contests.
Perugia
In the regional capital, after a first ‘battle’ to the wire in the round of 8 and 9 June, the center-left candidate Vittoria Ferdinandi (49.01% in the first round) and that of centre-right Margherita Scoccia (48.29%). Here there is no official connection between the two candidates and the ‘defeated’, even if the third-place finisher, the candidate from Perugia Merita Massimo Monni (1.4%), declared his personal support for Ferdinandi, however inviting his voters to vote freely. The certainty, meanwhile, is that from Monday Perugia will have a female mayor for the first time in its history.
Bastia Umbra
The one that already has a female leader is Bastia Umbra, where the outgoing centre-right mayor Paola Lungarotti (38.06%) is seeking reconfirmation against Erigo Pecci (42.13%). Not an easy undertaking for him: here too there is no official affiliation, but the candidate of the centre-right civic coalition Catia Degli Esposti (17.6%) has signed a programmatic agreement with Lungarotti.
Foligno
In Foligno it is an open challenge: just over one percentage point divided the outgoing centre-right mayor Stefano Zuccarini (45.85%) and the centre-left challenger Mauro Masciotti (44.53%) in the first round. The latter formalized an alliance with the ‘La Voce di Foligno’ list, which obtained 3.69% by supporting the candidate Moreno Finamonti. The fourth mayoral candidate in the first round, Enrico Presilla of Alternativa Popolare, instead decided to support Zuccarini, a choice which however split Stefano Bandecchi’s party at municipal level.
Gubbio and Orvieto
A completely new battle, however, in Gubbio, where one between Vittorio Fiorucci (25.29%) and Rocco Girlanda (21.53%) will be the first centre-right mayor of the city of Ceri, after 80 years of driving on the left. Finally, in Orvieto it will once again be the outgoing centre-right mayor Roberta Tardani (45%) who will attempt an encore against Stefano Biagioli (29.25%). In both Gubbio and Orvieto, there were no similarities or indications of votes from the other candidates, who therefore left full freedom of choice to their voters.
