The 2015 Italian local elections were to be held on 31 May, with a second round on 14 June, concurrently with the Regional elections. In Italy, direct elections were held in 1,063 municipalities: in each municipality (comune) were chosen mayor and members of the City Council. Of the 1,603 municipalities, 15 were provincial capitals and 120 had a population higher than 15,000 inhabitants.[1]
In Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol and Aosta Valley the elections were held on 10 May with a second ballot on 24 May.
Municipal councilors and mayors ordinarily serve a terms of five years.
Voting System
All mayoral elections in Italy in cities with a population higher than 15,000 use the same system.
Under this system voters express a direct choice for the mayor or an indirect choice voting for one of the parties of the candidate's coalition.
If no candidate receives a majority of votes, the top two candidates go to a second round two weeks later. The coalition of the elected mayor is guaranteed a majority of seats in the council with the attribution of extra seats, but the majority bonus system is not adopted by the cities of Trentino-Alto Adige. If a Mayor resigns, dies or is ousted from office after more than half the municipal councillors stepped down, an early municipal election (for the Mayor and for all municipal councillors) is called.
The City Council is elected at the same time as the mayor. Voters can vote for a list of candidates and can express up to 2 preferences for candidates of said list. In case of two preferences, they must be given to candidates of both genders. Seats are the attributed to parties proportionally, and for each party list the candidates with the highest number of preferences are elected.
