Exit polls and projections

When the polls closed at 11pm, the counting of the ballot papers began immediately. The local TV Rete8 broadcast the exit polls of Antonio Noto: two by midnight, then 15 minutes after midnight the first screening.

The previous vote in Sardinia

The counting in Abruzzo should proceed without a hitch, unlike the slow one in Sardinia which lasted about two days. With a “sensational” misalignment between the official data of the counting in Sardinia, those published by the Region’s website, and the numbers already released by the websites of the individual Municipalities”. At 10am, three hours after the reopening of the 1,887 sections to be counted in Sardinia, on the official website of the Sardinia Region had not yet uploaded a single piece of data. At 1pm, six hours after the start of the electoral operations, only 5% of the ballots had been counted. around 27%. At 6pm only one section in two was scrutinized. And after 10 hours from the start of the counting, the first suspicions Alessandra Todde in fact, strong “disappointment at the Region’s choice not to upload the data of the large municipalities where Todde is ahead” was revealed. Starting with Cagliari and Sassari. The 7pm “trap” loomed over the operations, the deadline by which the counting operations had to be completed within the legal deadlines. A trap which, however, was no longer applied.

Now Abruzzo goes to the vote a few weeks after the election of Alessandra Todde to the presidency of the Sardinia Region. His narrow victory over the centre-right candidate, Paolo Truzzohas rekindled hopes among the minority parties of also conquering Abruzzo and there are those who consider today’s electoral round a test in view of the European elections in early June.
