Perugia 2024 municipal ballot, definitive turnout at 60%
For the larger municipalities, i.e. those with more than 15 thousand inhabitants, in Perugia the ballots were held from 7am to 11pm yesterday and from 7am to 3pm today. Turnout data yesterday they were 15.54% at 12 pm, 38.10% at 7 pm and 48.58% at 11 pm; today it was only released the definitive figure at 3pm, equal to 60.64%one of the highest figures in Italy among the over one hundred Italian municipalities called to the polls for the second round of the municipal elections.
As widely expected, it was the centre-left and centre-right candidates who made it to the ballot. She was defeated in the run-off Margherita Scoccia. The center-right had governed in the capital since 2014 with Andrea Romizi, the first non-left-wing mayor in the republican history of the Municipality of Perugia and secretary of Forza Italia in Umbria. Scoccia comes from her council, where she is councilor for urban planning in Perugia. The candidate is supported by the three parties of the centre-right coalition (Fare Perugia – Forza Italia, Lega and Fratelli d’Italia) and by other civic lists: Progetto Perugia, from which two councilors of Andrea Romizi’s current council come; Perugia Civica, Perugia Amica, Futuro Giovani and Udc – Unione di Centro. The center-right governed not only in Perugia: in Umbria it has been president since 2019 Donatella Tesei of the League, whose mandate expires in November.
