The 2023 Lazio regional election took place on 12 and 13 February 2023. It was held concurrently with the 2023 Lombard regional election, as decided by the Italian government on 9 December 2022. ^[1] On 12 October 2022, the president of Lazio Nicola Zingaretti decided to step down, having been elected to the national parliament. ^[2]

The election saw the centre-right coalition win with a majority of the popular vote, gaining a 11-seat majority and taking control of the Regional Council of Lazio for the first time since the 2010 Lazio regional election.

Electoral system

The Regional Council of Lazio is elected with a mixed system: 39 councilmembers are chosen with a form of proportional representation using a largest remainder method with open lists, while 11 councilmembers are elected with a plurality-at-large voting system with closed lists. One seat is for the elected president. ^[3]
