Electoral system

Number of councilors

The Special Statute provides that the number of the regional councilors is determinated by one every 25,000 inhabitants or fraction greater than 10,000, according to the data taken by the last official detection of Istat. In the 2018 election, 47 councilors were elected in the constituencies, while 1 was the seat for the president and 1 was the seat for the "best loser", the first losing candidate.[2]

Majority bonus

Following the regional electoral law, the candidate that obtains the largest number of valid votes becomes president. The lists that are accepted in the distribution of seats are the ones that:

The winning coalition has to have at least 55% of the seats if the president is elected with less than 45% of votes, and if the votes of the winning candidate are more than 45%, his/her coalition has to have at least 60% of the seats.

Seat for the Slovenian minority

The lists that represent the Slovenian minority must have at least one seat if they obtained 1% or more votes.

Constituencies

The territory of the region is divided in five constituencies: Trieste, Gorizia, Udine, Tolmezzo and Pordenone.
