Elections in Veneto

This page gathers the results of elections in Veneto.

Regional elections

The President of the Region is elected every four years, directly by the people. Also the Regional Council is elected every five years, but, if the President suffers a vote of no confidence, resigns or dies, the Council is dissolved and there are fresh elections.

The Council is composed of 60 members, of which 47 are elected in provincial constituencies with Proportional representation, 12 from the so-called "regional list" of the elected President and the last one is for the candidate for President who comes second, who usually becomes the leader of the opposition in the Council.

Last regional election

The last regional election took place on 3-4 April, 2005. Giancarlo Galan (Forza Italia, House of Freedoms) was re-elected for the third time President of the Region, but the support for him was diminished by the presence of a third candidate, Giorgio Panto, who picked votes both from the centre-right camp and from the Ventist one, and of a fourth candidate of the far-right.

However Forza Italia remained the strongest party in the Council and also in the Region as a whole, indeed the Olive Tree was only an electoral alliance at the time and the three parties which were part of it formed separate groups in the Council.

The Venetist parties had a very good result: the combined score of Liga Veneta (14.7%), North-East Project (5.4%) and Liga Fronte Veneto (1.2%) was 21.3%, up from the 15.6% of 2000 (Liga Veneta 12.0%, Veneti d'Europa 2.4% and Fronte Marco Polo 1.2%).
