Politics of Abruzzo

[1] The Regional Council of Abruzzo (Consiglio Regionale dell'Abruzzo) is composed of 40 members.

32 councillors are elected in provincial constituencies by proportional representation using the largest remainder method with a Droop quota and open lists, while 8 councillors (elected in bloc) come from a "regional list", including the President-elect.

If a coalition wins more than 50% of the total seats in the council with PR, only 4 candidates from the regional list will be chosen and the number of those elected in provincial constituencies will be 36.

[2] The council is elected for a five-year term, but, if the President suffers a vote of no confidence, resigns or dies, under the simul stabunt, simul cadent clause introduced in 1999 (literally they will stand together or they will fall together), also the council is dissolved and a snap election is called.

Incumbent president Marco Marsilio of Brothers of Italy was re-elected and his party was the most voted one.
