There are 567,959 people entitled to vote in Basilicata for the regional elections: polling stations open from 7:00 to 23:00 on Sunday 21 April and from 7:00 to 15:00 on Monday 22 April. To follow it bare for results immediately following polls close on Monday. Voters will have to choose the new governor and 20 regional councilors. There are 13 lists, of which 7 for the centre-right in support of Vito Bardi, 5 for the centre-left of Piero Marrese, and one, Volt, for the civic Eustachio Follia.
The candidates
The outgoing governor, Vito Bardi (Fi), will be supported by Fratelli d’Italia, Forza Italia, Lega, Udc, Azione, Orgoglio Lucano (the civic list where the Renzian candidates of Italia Viva have also converged), La Vera Basilicata. The centre-left candidate, following many vicissitudes, is the Democratic Party Piero Marrese, president of the province of Matera, supported by the Democratic Party, the 5 Star Movement and the Green-Left Alliance. But also from the Basilicata Unita and Basilicata Casa Comune lists. The latter refers to the entrepreneur Angelo Chiorazzo, who initially should have been a candidate, but then took a step back. Then there is the outsider Eustachio Madnessjournalist, with Volt’s civic list.
No split vote
Unlike what happened in the regional elections in Sardinia, separate voting is not possible: voting for a gubernatorial candidate and at the same time for a list of regional councilor candidates who do not support him. However, it is possible to express a double preference gender (one male candidate and one female candidate): in the event of a double preference with the same gender, the vote considered valid will only be the one cast first. No ballot: the candidate who gets the most votes will be nominated governor. A progressive majority bonus is expected depending on the votes obtained by the winning gubernatorial candidate: 11 councilors with 30%, up to a maximum of 14 councilors.
