The vote is still in progress, but the mayor is already sure of his election. Everything is in order, clairvoyance has nothing to do with it: these are mostly small municipalities under 15,000 inhabitants in which a single (often civic) list has been presented: according to the electoral law for the election of the only candidate in fact it is simply necessary to overcome the quorum of 40 per cent of turnout, which becomes 50 for the most populous ones. Small realities where the exit polls have no reason to exist, and where the (few) eyes are all focused on the turnout data rather than on the – obvious – polls.
At 11.30 the mayors who have already conquered the tricolor band are already 25. Eight are in Campania (five in the province of Salerno, two in Avellino and one in Caserta), while in Liguria there are 17: two in the province of Genoa, 13 in that of Imperia and two others in the Savona area.
