2013 Lazio regional election
2013 Lazio regional election
The Lazio regional election of 2013 took place in Lazio , Italy, on 24–25 February 2013.
Renata Polverini of The People of Freedom (PdL), who was elected president in 2010 , was toppled by an expense scandal in October 2012 which led to her resignation.
After that, the candidate of Democratic Party (PD) seemed a shoo-in for victory. In December 2012, the Commissioner of the Province of Rome , Nicola Zingaretti , decided to run as Governor of Lazio for 2013 regional election. As Lazio had been a traditional stronghold of National Alliance party, the former president Francesco Storace , secretary of the national-conservative party The Right and supported by Silvio Berlusconi 's coalition, was chosen for the center-right coalition.[ 1]
The other candidates were Davide Barillari (M5S ), who received the 20% of the votes, Giulia Bongiorno (Civic Choice ) and Alessandro Ruotolo (Civil Revolution ).
Electoral system
The Regional Council is elected with a mixed system: 39 MPs are chosen with a form of proportional representation using a largest remainder method with open lists and a 5% threshold , while 11 MPs are elected with a block voting system with closed lists . One seat is for the elected president.
