The 2024 Emilia-Romagna regional election took place in Emilia-Romagna, Italy, on 17–18 November 2024.[https://www.ilpost.it/2024/07/17/emilia-romagna-elezioni-anticipate-data/ Le elezioni anticipate in Emilia-Romagna saranno il 17 e il 18 novembre], Il Post

The elections were called following Stefano Bonaccini's election to the European Parliament, a position incompatible with his post as the regional president. He resigned on 12 July 2024, on the same day, the Democratic Party unanimously nominated Mayor of Ravenna Michele De Pascale as its candidate.{{Cite web |date=2024-07-12 |title=Michele De Pascale candidato Pd a presidente dell’Emilia Romagna: è ufficiale |url=https://www.ilrestodelcarlino.it/elezioni-emilia-romagna/michele-de-pascale-candidato-pd-presidente-ufficiale-esy96age |access-date=2024-07-31 |website=Il Resto del Carlino |language=it}} On 25 July, the centre-right coalition announced the candidacy of Elena Ugolini, a former undersecretary of state and school principal, without a party affiliation.[https://www.rainews.it/tgr/emiliaromagna/articoli/2024/07/elezioni-regionali-e-ufficiale-la-civica-ugolini-candidata-per-il-centrodestra-dae3438a-37cd-4715-b498-831f8b476509.html Elezioni regionali: è ufficiale, la civica Ugolini candidata per il centrodestra]. Rai News

De Pascale defeated Ugolini by a 16.7 points margin, winning nearly 57% of the popular vote. The number of seats of the centre-left coalition in the Regional Council increased by 5, giving them a 2/3 supermajority.

Electoral system

In Emilia-Romagna, a new electoral law was approved by the Legislative Assembly in July 2014, abolishing the blocked list.

The voter can express one or two preference votes for the candidates on the chosen list; in the case of the expression of two preferences, these must concern candidates of different sex according to "gender preference" (under penalty of annulment of the second preference). As regards the election of the councilors, the law guarantees in any case at least 27 seats on the lists that support the elected president (majority prize), obtaining effects that are very similar to those of the list but acting on the provincial lists. The first 40 seats are distributed on a proportional basis. A seat is then attributed to the candidate for president who came second. The remaining 9 seats are assigned by majority method to the lists that support the elected president if these lists have obtained less than 25 seats with the previous procedure, otherwise the "prize" will be only 4 seats. If, at the end of these assignments, the majority lists have not obtained at least 27 seats, these will be guaranteed by removing some of the seats already assigned to the opposition lists.
