2021 Naples municipal election

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

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

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]
