The 2010 Basilicata regional election took place on 28–29 March 2010. The election was for all 31 seats of the Regional Council of Basilicata and the president of Basilicata, who automatically became a member of the council alongside the second-placed candidate. It was the third-last election of the 2010 Italian regional elections. The incumbent president, Vito De Filippo of the Democratic Party, was elected for a second-consecutive term by a landslide, thus becoming the most voted candidate in the 2010 regional elections. As part of what became a over 20-year rule of the centre-left coalition, the results in Basilicata confirmed their comparison as the political equivalent of the left-wing Emilia-Romagna region in Southern Italy.^[1][2][3]
