Administrative elections Siena 2023: the date
A decision has not yet been made on the matter data from the 2023 administrative elections; in fact, the choice could intersect with that of the regional ones in Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Molise.
In 2018 a Siena the first round of local elections was voted on 10 June; five years later the polls could open again a few weeks earlier in the event of unification with the regional ones.
As for the timetableshaving overcome the most difficult phase of the pandemic, we have recently returned to a single voting day, with the polling stations remaining open only on the Sunday indicated by the Interior Ministry from 07:00 to 23:00.
The electoral law
There electoral law of administrative elections in Italy it is the majority with regard to the election of the mayor, while the distribution of councilors occurs to a lesser extent.
Being Siena a Municipality with more than 15,000 inhabitants, if no candidate in the first round should obtain an absolute majority then a ballot between the two most voted. In the event of a perfect tie in the head-to-head, the oldest candidate will be elected mayor.
To guarantee the formation of a solid majority and consequently substantial governance, all the lists linked to the winning candidate for mayor will come assigned 60% of the seats; the remaining seats on the Board will then be assigned to the other lists in a proportional manner using the “D’Hondt method”.
At the division of seats, they will be elected in the total 32 advisers excluding the mayor, all lists and groups of lists of candidates who have passed the barrier threshold 3% of valid votes.
As far as voting methods are concerned, separate voting is permitted in municipalities with more than 15,000 inhabitants, with the voter being able to cast up to due preferences but keeping the gender equality (a man and a woman).
The candidates
At the administrative elections in Siena in 2018 Louis DeMossi won a historic victory in the run-off, bringing the center-right to lead the city for the first time; nearly five years later, the mayor is still undecided whether to run again or not.
However, the centre-right does not seem to lack alternatives: SiAmo Siena could push for the current councillor Paschal Collellabut we also talk about the entrepreneur Tommaso Marrocchesi Marzi and the hotelier Richard Pagni.
Situation on the high seas in the center-left, where at the moment the coalition would appear to be formed by the Democratic Party, the Greens, the Italian Left, Article 1 and the Psi: at the moment the most probable hypothesis for the choice of candidate is that of the primaries.
Both the third pole and the 5 Star Movement would be out at the moment, but the Democratic Party would like to further expand the coalition at least to the moderates. As for the pentastellati, this time he should take part in the municipals after his absence in 2018.
The Polo Civico, on the other hand, has already made its choice by applying Fabio Paccianiwhile the university professor has also announced his participation in these administrative elections Emanuele Montomoli.
