MNI POLITICAL RISK ANALYSIS-Italy Municipal Election Chartpack

Executive Summary

• Italy's largest cities hold municipal elections on 3-4 October to decide on their next mayors and city councils, while the southern region of Calabria also holds its regional election following the death in 2020 of regional president Jole Santelli. In most of Italy's largest cities, it appears unlikely that a single mayoral candidate will receive the 50%+1 of the vote required to avoid a second-round run-off election that would take place 17-18 October.
• Rome, Milan, Turin, Naples and Bologna – as well as 15 other cities – will go to the polls on Sunday and Monday. Mayoral candidates in these cities largely run as part of a policial bloc ticket, with parties of the centre-left and left backing one candidate and parties of the centre-right and right another.
• Below we compile a chartpack of first and second-round opinion polls for the contests in Rome, Milan, and Turin, as well as polling from Calabria.
