Electoral system

Even if a district list is linked to a regional list that exceeds 8% of the vote, the district list must obtain at least 4% of the vote in the whole region in order to elect their own representatives. To ensure governance, the candidate who receives the most votes wins a majority bonus of 55% of the seats.

Analysis

Occhiuto defeated Tridico by 15.5 points, receiving the strongest support in southern Calabria, where he obtained nearly two-thirds of the vote. He also performed well in the central part of the region, particularly in the province of Crotone. In northern Calabria, his margin was narrower, winning over Tridico by 4.5 points. Of the region’s ten largest cities with populations over 20,000, Occhiuto received more votes than Tridico in eight, while Tridico received more votes in Cosenza and the neighboring municipality of Rende.
Tridico’s support was strongest in and around Cosenza, the central part of Cosenza province around Acri, and along the Ionian coast east of Corigliano-Rossano, including his hometown of Scala Coeli, where he led by 70 points. The nearby municipality of Cariati was the only locality where both candidates received an equal number of votes, with 1,727 each. Tridico also received a majority in several municipalities around the Isthmus of Catanzaro.
