In Aosta Valley the centre-left Democratic Party, endorsed by the Progressive Valdostan Union and Autonomy Liberty Participation Ecology, [1] came largely ahead with 47.1% of the vote, followed by the Five Star Movement, distant second at 19.6%.

PD–UVP–ALPE's Luca Barbieri was the most voted candidate in the region with 8,128 preference votes. [3]
