Electoral law

Tuscany uses its own legislation of 2014 to elect its Regional Council. The councillors are elected in provincial constituencies by proportional representation using the D'Hondt method. The constituency of Florence is further divided into 4 sub-constituencies. Preferential voting is allowed: a maximum of two preferences can be expressed for candidates of the same party list and provided the two chosen candidates are of different gender.

In this system, parties are grouped in alliances supporting a candidate for the post of President of Tuscany. The candidate receiving at least 40% of the votes is elected to the post and his/her list (or the coalition) is awarded a majority of 23 seats in the Regional Council (24 seats with more than 45% of the vote). If no candidate gets more than 40% of the votes, a run-off is held fourteen days later, where the two top candidates from the first round run against each other. The winning candidate is then ensured a majority in the Regional Council. [2]

The electoral threshold is 3% of valid votes for lists belonging to a coalition that obtained at least 10% of the total votes; or 5% for lists running individually or part of a coalition that didn't obtain 10% of the total votes.

Council apportionment

According to the official 2011 Italian census, the 40 Council seats which must be covered by proportional representation are so distributed between Tuscan provinces. The number of seats to be assigned in each province is the following:

The Metropolitan City of Florence is further divided into four smaller electoral constituencies: the first constituency consists solely of the city of Florence, the second is located to the east of the city, the third consists of the western part of the metropolitan city around Empoli, and the fourth consists of Florence's closest western suburbs (Scandicci, Sesto Fiorentino)

Analysis

Giani defeated Tomasi by 13 points in the left-leaning region, winning majorities in six of the ten provinces, Florence, Siena, Livorno, Pisa, Arezzo and Prato, and a plurality in Lucca.

Tomasi won pluralities in Grosseto and Massa-Carrara and was 277 votes short of a majority in Pistoia. Giani received over two-thirds of the vote in Sesto Fiorentino, where the AVS list received more votes than PD, and won majorities in Pisa and Livorno. Bundu came third with 5 percent of the vote, and the left-wing list supporting her did not reach the 5 percent threshold for individual lists.

Of the region’s 39 comuni with populations over 20,000, Giani won in 31. Tomasi’s strongest result was in Montecatini Terme, which he won by 20 points, while Bundu’s strongest result was in Piombino, where she received one eighth of the votes.
