The 2025 Italian local elections were held at the municipal level, where the first round were held between April and May and run-off rounds were held on 8 and 9 June of the same year, concurrently with the 2025 Italian referendum. In Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, the elections were held on 4 May. In the Aosta Valley, the elections were held in the autumn. In the 4 municipalities voting in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the elections were held on 13 and 14 April, with a possible run-off round on 27 and 28 April.
For municipalities that renewed the municipal council in 2020, the vote was postponed to spring 2026; this delay was due to the postponement of the 2020 Italian local elections to September, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy. In ordinary Italian regions, the consultations only concerned municipalities with early elections. The municipal elections took place in 468 comuni (among the higher municipalities, 9 are municipalities, of which 3 are regional capitals), of which there were 75 municipalities with a population greater than 15,000 inhabitants and 393 with a population lower.
Following the first-round vote (25âÂÂ26 May) in the 31 major municipalities: Centre-left won in 9; Centre-right in 4; Right in 1; Others in 6; 13 municipalities proceeded to a runoff.
In provincial capitals, the center-left won in the first round in 2 cities, Genoa and Ravenna, while in 2 others, Taranto and Matera, a runoff was needed. In Matera, the outcome was anatra zoppa (Italian for "lame duck"): the elected mayor was from the centre-right coalition, but the lists supporting the centre-left candidate won a majority of votes in the first round, thus they have a majority of council seats.
Valdostan Union, Autonomists of the Centre and Democratic Party formed a coalition. PD vetoed the inclusion of Forza Italia, and UV and AdC vetoed Civic NetworkâÂÂGreens and Left Alliance.

The election in Monfalcone had high media coverage during the campaign period due to the presence of an Islamist municipal list called led by candidate for mayor Bou Konate, a Senegalese Muslim. The list only missed winning a single council seat by a mere 0.06%, therefore barely missing the electoral threshold of 3%. The League within the centre-right coalition won the election in a landslide with 70.87%.
The election took place on the 25âÂÂ26 May 2025 with Silvia Salis winning.
It is important to note that six Sicilian provinces were provisionally led from 15 August 2015 by an extraordinary commissioner via regional appointment and thus 27 April election was to elect a new provincial president.
The Provincial presidents won by the centre-right, centre-left and others category include each two presidents elected in Sicily, previously governed as commissariats and therefore not bound to any coalition.
