[1] The election was originally scheduled to take place on 19 April 2020,[2] but was then postponed first to 10 May and then delayed for a second time due to the coronavirus pandemic in Italy.

[3] The Regional Council of Aosta Valley (Italian: Consiglio regionale della Valle d'Aosta, French: Conseil de la Vallée) is composed by 35 members.

[4] The election of the Regional Council is based on a direct choice for the candidate and it is possible to express only one preference for the list.

[5] [clarification needed] Aosta Valley returned to the vote earlier than the deadline by decision of the interim president Renzo Testolin, following investigations into the infiltration of the 'Ndrangheta in the politics of the region at all levels.

Two other former presidents – Pierluigi Marquis and Augusto Rollandin – were also seeking the support of the local clans who infiltrated the Valley, according to the prosecutor's office.
