The municipal elections in Naples took place on 3 and 4 October 2021. The incumbent Mayor of Naples was Luigi de Magistris of Democracy and Autonomy, who won the 2016 Naples municipal election.
Electoral system
[edit]The voting system is used for all mayoral elections in Italy, in the cities with a population higher than 15,000 inhabitants. Under this system, voters express a direct choice for the mayor or an indirect choice voting for the party of the candidate's coalition. If no candidate receives 50% of votes during the first round, the top two candidates go to a second round after two weeks. The winning candidate obtains a majority bonus equal to 60% of seats. During the first round, if no candidate gets more than 50% of votes but a coalition of lists gets the majority of 50% of votes or if the mayor is elected in the first round but its coalition gets less than 40% of the valid votes, the majority bonus cannot be assigned to the coalition of the winning mayor candidate.
The election of the City Council is based on a direct choice for the candidate with a maximum of two preferential votes, each for a different gender, belonging to the same party list: the candidate with the majority of the preferences is elected. The number of the seats for each party is determined proportionally, using D'Hondt seat allocation. Only coalitions with more than 3% of votes are eligible to get any seats.[1]
Background
[edit]The center-left coalition did not nominate their candidate through a primary election, in order to avoid the same troubles that happened during the previous municipal primary election in Naples.[2] Through the municipal secretary of the Democratic Party Marco Sarracino, the coalition sought an alliance with the Five Star Movement and Italian Left.[3][4]
