1980 Apulian regional election

The Apulian regional election of 1980 took place on 8 June 1980.

Christian Democracy was by far the largest party, while the Italian Communist Party came distantly second.

After the election Nicola Quarta, the incumbent Christian Democratic President, formed a new centre-left government (Organic Centre-left).

In 1983 Quarta was replaced by Gennaro Trisorio Liuzzi, a Christian Democrat who had already served as President of the Region from 1970 to 1975.
