How to vote in Pisa
As in all municipalities with more than 15,000 inhabitants, if no candidate for mayor manages to win in the first round, obtaining an absolute majority, there will be a run-off between the two names with the most votes. Voters, always in Municipalities with over 15,000 inhabitants, can decide to vote for a mayoral candidate and together with a list to which he is not connected: this means that separate voting is allowed. Together with the mayor, the City Council is renewed. The electoral system by which seats are distributed is proportional. It works like this: 60% of the available places automatically go to the lists that support the mayor who is elected. The remaining 40% is divided among the other lists in proportion to the number of votes received by each.
