The 2025 Calabrian regional election took place in Calabria, Italy, on 5 and 6 October 2025, following the dissolution of the Regional Council after the resignation of the President Roberto Occhiuto on 4 August 2025.
Even if a district list is linked to a regional list that exceeds 8% of the vote, the district list must obtain at least 4% of the vote in the whole region in order to elect their own representatives. To ensure governance, the candidate who receives the most votes wins a majority bonus of 55% of the seats. [2]
