Pesaro 2024 administrative elections: date, candidates and polls

Pesaro 2024 administrative elections: the engines are warming up in view of the municipal elections which, barring surprises, should be merged as regards the first round of the European elections as already happened five years ago for a sort of election day.
Matteo Ricci, the current mayor of the Democratic Party who has now reached the end of his second consecutive mandate, will no longer be able to run in the Pesaro 2024 administrative elections.
The dems would thus be evaluating two profiles: Daniele Vimini and Andrea Biancani.
Everything is to be decided also in the centre-right, with the coalition parties who would like to focus on a civic profile to try to repeat the exploit obtained in Ancona at the last municipal elections.
While waiting for the polls, here is a guide to the Pesaro 2024 administrative elections with the probable date of the vote, the possible mayoral candidates and the dictates of the electoral law with which the citizens will elect their next mayor.

On the same day the polls opened throughout Italy for the European elections and in Piedmont also for the regional elections.
Even if an official communication from the government has not yet arrived, everything would suggest a merger in 2024 too: in this case the first round of the administrative elections in Pesaro would be held on Sunday 9 June.
As per the regulations, the possible run-off would be held two weeks later but it remains to be seen whether the government will maintain the double voting day – polls also open on Mondays until 3pm – as done recently.
The electoral law The electoral law of administrative elections in Italy is majority-based as regards the election of the mayor, while the distribution of councilors takes place in a proportional manner.
Since Pesaro is a municipality with more than 15,000 inhabitants, if no candidate in the first round obtains an absolute majority then a run-off will be held between the two most voted.
If there is a perfect head-to-head tie, the oldest candidate will be elected mayor.
To guarantee the formation of a solid majority and consequently substantial governability, the lists linked to the winning mayoral candidate will be allocated 60% of the seats; the remaining seats on the Council will then be assigned to the other lists in a proportional manner through the "D'Hondt method".
At the division of seats, a total of 32 councilors excluding the mayor will be elected.
All lists and groups of lists of candidates that have exceeded the threshold of 3% of valid votes will be admitted.
As regards the voting methods, in municipalities with more than 15,000 inhabitants, split voting is permitted, with the voter being able to express up to two preferences while maintaining gender equality (one man and one woman).

Without a figure like Matteo Ricci anymore, the Democratic Party now has to decide whether to focus on the councilor and deputy mayor Daniele Vimini or on Andrea Biancani, a long-term regional councilor.
In choosing the candidate, the Democratic Party will also have to take its allies into account, given the long-standing axis with the 5 Star Movement and the need to maintain the broad coalition with the presence of the left and moderates.
The centre-right, on the other hand, is aware that never before can it aim for a coup like this time and, as regards the candidate for mayor, it will most likely focus on a civic profile.
Now that the hypothesis of the entrepreneur Nardo Fiippetti has passed, the hottest name is that of the sociologist Silvio Cattarina.
