Clodovaldo Ruffato (The People of Freedom, later New Centre-Right) was the President of the Council for the entire term, while Luca Zaia (Liga Veneta–Lega Nord) served as President of Veneto at the head of his first government.

Composition

Seven parties plus a one-member group formed by Giuseppe Bortolussi (the defeated centre-left candidate) were represented in the Council at the start of the term. The largest party in the Council was Liga Veneta with twenty seats, a third of the total. At the end of the term, the groups were sixteen, four of which formed for technical purposes as every group could validate the slates of two lists for the regional election; these included "Civic Veneto", "Zaia President", "Tosi List for Veneto" and "Family–Pensioners".
