The 2023 Friuli-Venezia Giulia regional election took place from 2 to 3 April 2023. The election took place concurrently with the municipal election in 19 comuni of the Region.
The Special Statute provides that the number of the regional councilors is determinated by one every 25,000 inhabitants or fraction greater than 10,000, according to the data taken by the last official detection of Istat. In the 2018 election, 47 councilors were elected in the constituencies, while 1 was the seat for the president and 1 was the seat for the "best loser", the first losing candidate. [2]
Following the regional electoral law, the candidate that obtains the largest amount of valid votes becomes President. The lists that are accepted in the distribution of seats are the ones that:
The winning coalition has to have at least 55% of the seats if the president is elected with less than 45% of votes, and if the votes of the winning candidate are more than 45%, his/her coalition has to have at least 60% of the seats.
The lists that represent the Slovenian minority must have at least one seat if they obtained 1% or more votes.
The territory of the region is divided in 5 constituencies: Trieste, Gorizia, Udine, Tolmezzo and Pordenone.
| Constituency | Number of seats |

| Trieste | 9 |
| Gorizia | 5 |
| Udine | 18 |

Elections in Spain encompass four different types: general elections, regional elections, local elections, and elections to the European Parliament. General elections and regional elections are typically conducted at the conclusion of the national or regional legislative mandate, which usually spans four years since the previous election. However, early elections can be called in certain circumstances. On the other hand, local council elections and elections to the European Parliament follow fixed dates, although some local government bodies, such as provincial councils, are not directly elected. In most elections, a party-list proportional representation (PR) system is employed, while the Senate utilizes the plurality system.
Romania elects on a national level a head of state – the president – and a legislature. The president is elected for a five-year term by the people. The Romanian Parliament has two chambers. The Chamber of Deputies has currently 330 members, elected for a four-year term by party-list proportional representation on closed lists. The Senate has currently 136 members, elected for a four-year term by party-list proportional representation on closed lists.
All elections in the Czech Republic are based on the principle of universal suffrage. Any adult citizen who is at least 18 years old can vote, except those who have been stripped of their legal capacities by a court, usually on the basis of mental illness. Elected representatives are elected directly by the citizens without any intermediaries. Election laws are not part of the constitution, but – unlike regular laws – they cannot be changed without the consensus of both houses of the Parliament. The Czech Republic uses a two-round plurality voting system for the presidential and Senate elections and an open party-list proportional representation system for all other elections. The proportional representation system uses the D'Hondt method for allocating seats.
Elections in Hungary are held at two levels: general elections to elect the members of the National Assembly and local elections to elect local authorities. European Parliament elections are also held every 5 years.
