2017 Italian local elections

The 2017 Italian local elections were held on Sunday 11 June. If necessary, a run-off vote was held on Sunday 25 June. The term of mayors and councils will last five years, unless an early election is triggered.

In the autonomous regions of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol and Aosta Valley the elections will be held on 7 May.

The elections were characterized by a good performance of the centre-right coalition and many losses for the centre-left coalition, which however won in the majority of municipalities with more than 15,000 inhabitants, but lost in the most important cities like Genoa, L'Aquila and Parma; while the Five Star Movement was excluded from the runoffs in all the most important cities. In Lecce, the result was an anatra zoppa situation, as the centre-left candidate was elected mayor, but the centre-right coalition won a majority of seats on the city council.
