The centre-left candidate Virginio Merola was elected mayor at the second round with 54.64% of votes.

[1] The voting system is used for all mayoral elections in Italy, in the city with a population higher than 15,000 inhabitants.

This gives a result whereby the winning candidate may be able to claim majority support, although it is not guaranteed.

This is a list of the parties (and their respective leaders) which will participate in the election.

Notes: if a defeated candidate for Mayor obtained over 3% of votes, the mayoral candidate is automatically elected communal councilor (Borgonzoni, Bugani, Bernardini and Martelloni); see Italian electoral law of 1993 for Comuni.
