This election was the last one in Italy before the European election of 26 May 2019.[2]The original election date was 26 May 2019, but a snap election was called upon the resignation of the incumbent president Marcello Pittella, a member of the Democratic Party (PD), on 24 January 2019. After the subsequent dissolution of the Regional Council, Vice President Flavia Franconi (PD) became acting president.The centre-left coalition had won each regional election in Basilicata since 1995 with a large margin. However, in the general election of 4 March 2018 both the centre-right coalition and the M5S substantially improved their performance: the center-right, for the first time, tied with the center-left (including LeU, which in 2018 was not a member of the coalition led by PD) and the M5S won about double the votes gained by the PD and LeU combined.[3]Table of ContentsElectoral law[edit]Campaign[edit]Parties and candidates[edit]Opinion polls[edit]Results[edit]Results by province[edit]Results by capital city[edit]Seats by province[edit]Voter turnout[edit]References[edit]Electoral law[edit]In addition to the newly elected president, the candidate for president of the coalition who ranks second automatically gains one seat (the first of his coalition or single party list), in the Regional Council, according to the Tatarella Law of 1995. The remaining 19 seats will be assigned on a province basis, proportionally with respect to the population of the provinces of Potenza and Matera.[4]The new electoral law follows proportional representation with a threshold of 3% for party lists and 4% for lists in coalitions that failed to reach the 8% threshold.[5] If the first coalition wins 30% of the vote, the parties collectively receive 11 (55%) to 14 seats (67%). For the presidential election,[5] a candidate needs to win by a simple majority (first-past-the-post).[6] To cast his vote, the voter can make a single mark on the name of a presidential candidate, and in this case the vote is not transmitted to any party list.[5] If the voter marks the symbol of one of the lists, the vote is automatically transferred to the candidate supported by that list.[5] Since the approval of the new regional electoral law in 2018, split voting is not possible, i.e. voting on a list and a candidate who is not supported by it.[7]The voter can express two preferences, reserving the second to a candidate of a different sex, otherwise the second preferences will not be valid.[4] Among the innovations there is the introduction of gender equality (each party list cannot have more than 60% of candidates of the same sex), and the abolition of the price list and of the split vote.[8]Campaign[edit]On 20 February 2019, governor Marcello Pittella announced he would not run for a second term[9] and decided to support Carlo Trerotola (PD), the new centre-left candidate.[10] With the retirement of Pittella, the majority of the left-wing Free and Equal (LeU) returned in the centre-left coalition with the list “Progressives for Basilicata”.[11] A joint list of left-wing parties ran alone with Valerio Tramutoli as its presidential candidate.[12]The presidential candidate of the centre-right coalition is Vito Bardi, an independent, former General of Guardia di Finanza, who later joined Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia.[13] The presidential candidate of the Five Star Movement (M5S) is Antonio Mattia.[14] The presidential candidate of Lega Sud Ausonia (a regional party who usually run alone) Antonio Postorivo[15] was excluded due to bureaucratic issues.[16]Parties and candidates[edit]Opinion polls[edit]DatePolling firmTrerotolaBardiMattiaTramutoliUndecidedLead24 Mar 2019Election Results33.142.220.34.4N\/A9.15\u20138 Mar 2019Venum(without undecided)35.038.022.05.00.03.05\u20138 Mar 2019Venum(with undecided)26.128.716.53.824.92.6Results[edit]24 March 2019 Basilicata regional election resultsCandidatesVotes%SeatsPartiesVotes%SeatsVito Bardi124,71642.201League55,39319.156Forza Italia26,4579.143Brothers of Italy17,1125.911Identity and Action12,0944.181Positive Basilicata\u2013Bardi for President11,4923.971Total122,54842.3612Carlo Trerotola97,86633.111Forward Basilicata24,9578.632Democratic Party22,4237.652Progressives for Basilicata12,9084.46\u2013Italian Socialist Party10,9133.77\u2013Basilicata First9,7483.37\u2013Democratic Centre \u2013 Popular Project9,5593.30\u2013Federation of the Greens\u2013Reality Italy5,4921.90\u2013Total96,00033.184Antonio Mattia60,07020.32\u2013Five Star Movement58,65820.273Valerio Tramutoli12,9124.37\u2013Possible Basilicata12,1244.19\u2013Invalid votes11,624\u2013Total candidates307,188100.002Total parties289,330100.0019Registered voters573,97053.52Source: Ministry of the Interior \u2013 ResultsPopular voteM5S\u200920.27%Lega\u200919.15%FI\u20099.14%AB\u20098.63%PD\u20097.65%FdI\u20095.91%PpB\u20094.46%Pos\u20094.19%IDeA\u20094.18%BP\u2013Bardi\u20093.97%PSI\u20093.77%PB\u20093.37%Trerotola\u20093.30%FdV\u2013RI\u20091.90%PresidentBardi\u200942.20%Trerotola\u200933.11%Mattia\u200920.32%Tramutoli\u20094.37%Results by province[edit]ProvinceBardiTrerotolaMattiaTramutoliTurnoutPotenza82,244(41.01%)69,016(34.41%)40,103(20.00%)9,183(4.58%)52.40%Matera42,472(44.70%)28,850(30.36%)19,967(21.01%)3,729(3.92%)56.03%Results by capital city[edit]CityBardiTrerotolaMattiaTramutoliTurnoutPotenza15,688(40.55%)11,863(30.6%)7,558(19.54%)3,576(9.24)68.79%Matera10,969(37.51%)7,740(26.47%)9,039(30.91%)1,492(5.10%)59.88%Seats by province[edit]ProvinceLegaPDFIM5SFdIOthersTotalPotenza51220212Matera1111127Voter turnout[edit]References[edit]^ “Convocazione dei comizi per l’elezione del Presidente della Giunta e del Consiglio Regionale della Basilicata” (PDF). regione.basilicata.it.
