How to vote in Teramo
Teramo is a municipality with about 51,000 inhabitants, so the general rules governing the elections of all municipalities with more than 15,000 inhabitants are valid for voting. If no candidate obtains an absolute majority in the first round, i.e. 50% plus one of the votes, the second round will take place with a run-off between the two names with the most votes. Separate voting is allowed in municipalities with over 15,000 inhabitants: a voter can decide to vote for a candidate for mayor and together with a list to which he is not connected. The City Council is also renewed on the occasion of the election of the new mayor. The electoral system with which the seats are distributed is proportional: 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, proportionally to the number of votes received by each.
