The Lombard regional election of 2018 took place on 4 March 2018.
The election took place concurrently with the Italian general election and the Lazio regional election.
Since 2012, Lombardy has adopted its own legislation to elect its Council, very similar to national Tatarella Law of 1995. While the President of Lombardy and the leader of the opposition are still elected at-large, 78 councilors are elected by party lists under a form of semi-proportional representation. The winning coalition receives a jackpot of at least 45 seats, which are divided between all majority parties using the D'Hondt method, as it happens between the losing lists. Each party then distributes its seats to its provincial lists, where candidates are openly selected.
The President of Lombardy is the supreme authority of Lombardy, the most populated region of Italy.
At-large is a designation for members of a governing body who are elected or appointed to represent the whole membership of the body, rather than a subset of that membership. At-large voting is in contrast to voting by electoral districts.
Semi-proportional representation characterizes multi-winner electoral systems which allow representation of minorities, but are not intended to reflect the strength of the competing political forces in close proportion to the votes they receive. Semi-proportional voting systems can be regarded as compromises between forms of proportional representation such as party-list PR, and plurality/majoritarian systems such as first-past-the-post voting. Examples of semi-proportional systems include the single non-transferable vote, limited voting, and parallel voting.
According to the Law 17 February 1968, no. 108, the Regional Council is elected every five years. The election can take place since the fourth Sunday before the completion of this five years period.
On 1 March 2016, President Maroni announced his intention to run for a re-election as president. [1] Nonetheless, on 8 January 2018 he announced he'd not seek a re-election as president, citing personal reasons and launching former mayor of Varese Attilio Fontana as candidate of the center-right coalition.
Varese is a city and comune in north-western Lombardy, northern Italy, 55 kilometres (34 mi) north of Milan.
Attilio Fontana is an Italian politician from Varese, Lombardy. A member of Lega Nord, he has served as President of Lombardy since 2018.
On 1 June 2017 Giorgio Gori, the incumbent mayor of Bergamo, announced his decision to run for the presidency for the center-left coalition. [2]
Giorgio Gori is an Italian entrepreneur, journalist and politician. He is a member of the Democratic Party and has been the mayor of Bergamo since June 2014.
Bergamo is a city in the alpine Lombardy region of northern Italy, approximately 40 km (25 mi) northeast of Milan, and about 30 km (19 mi) from Switzerland, the alpine lakes Como and Iseo and 70 km (43 mi) from Garda and Maggiore. The Bergamo Alps begin immediately north of the city.
On 15 January 2018, Fontana stated that the white race and the Western culture were in danger due to the migration flows from Africa. [3] This created lot of protests and criticisms from the centre-left Democratic Party and also the anti-establishment Five Star Movement. [4]
The Democratic Party is a social-democratic political party in Italy. The party's secretary is Nicola Zingaretti, who was elected in March 2019, while Paolo Gentiloni serves as president.
The Five Star Movement is a political party in Italy. The M5S was founded on 4 October 2009 by Beppe Grillo, a comedian and blogger, and Gianroberto Casaleggio, a web strategist. After Casaleggio's death in April 2016, Grillo appointed a directorate composed of five leading MPs, which lasted until the following October when he dissolved it and proclaimed himself the "political head" of the M5S. Grillo is also formally president of the association named the Five Star Movement; his nephew, Enrico Grillo, serves as vice president; and his accountant, Enrico Maria Nadasi, as secretary. Davide Casaleggio, Gianroberto's son, has an increasingly important albeit unofficial role.
