The 2020 Italian local elections will be held on different dates; they were originally scheduled to take place in May 2020, together with the 2020 regional elections, with a second round on June,[1] but they were delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic in Italy sometime between 15 October and 15 December.[2] Direct elections will be held in 1,137 out of 7,904 municipalities; in each of these, the mayor and the members of the City Council are going to be elected. Of the 1,137 municipalities, 18 are provincial capitals.

Voting system

All mayoral elections in Italy in cities with a population higher than 15,000 use the same voting system. 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 at least 50% of votes, the top two candidates go to a second round after two weeks. This gives a result whereby the winning candidate may be able to claim majority support, although it is not guaranteed.

The election of the City Council is based on a direct choice for the candidate with a preference vote: the candidate with the majority of the preferences is elected. The number of seats for each party is determined proportionally.
