2006 Rome mayoral election Turnout 66.0%
Municipal elections were held in Rome on 28–29 May 2006 to elect the Mayor of Rome and 60 members of the City Council .
Background
Mayoral election
The centre-left coalition was led by the outgoing mayor Walter Veltroni , while the centre-right coalition was led by the incumbent Minister of Agricolture Gianni Alemanno , a member of the National Alliance (AN) party.
Voting system
The voting system is used for all mayoral elections in Italy, in the city with a population higher than 15,000 inhabitants. Under this system voters express a direct choice for the mayor or an indirect choice voting for the party of the candidate's coalition. If no candidate receives 50% of votes, the top two candidates go to a second round after two weeks. This gives a result whereby the winning candidate may be able to claim majority support, although it is not guaranteed.
The election of the City Council is based on a direct choice for the candidate with a preference vote: the candidate with the majority of the preferences is elected. The number of the seats for each party is determined proportionally.
