2025 Tuscan regional election

The 2025 Tuscan regional election took place in Tuscany, Italy, from 12 to 13 October 2025. In line with polls prediction and the region's left-leaning status, the incumbent president Eugenio Giani of the centre-left coalition was re-elected to a second term with 54% of the vote, compared to the 41% of centre-right coalition candidate Alessandro Tomasi. The left-wing candidate Antonella Bundu obtained 5% of the vote, slightly outperforming polls, but her supporting coalition of parties narrowly failed to reach the electoral threshold and did not enter the Regional Council of Tuscany.

Electoral law To elect its own regional council, Tuscany uses its own legislation of 2014. The councillors are elected in provincial constituency by proportional representation using the D'Hondt method. The constituency of Florence is further divided into four subconstituencies. Preferential voting is allowed: a maximum of two preferences can be expressed for candidates of the same party list and provided the two chosen candidates are of different gender. Additionally, the electoral threshold is 3% of valid votes for lists belonging to a political coalition that obtained at least 10% of the total votes, or 5% for lists running individually or part of a coalition that did not obtain 10% of the total votes. Under this electoral system, parties are grouped in alliances supporting a candidate for the post of President of Tuscany. The candidate receiving at least 40% of the votes is elected to the post and his/her list (or the coalition) is awarded a majority of 23 seats in the Regional Council (24 seats with more than 45% of the vote). If no candidate gets more than 40% of the votes, a run-off is held fourteen days later, where the two top candidates from the first round run against each other. The winning candidate is then ensured a majority in the Regional Council.

Council apportionment According to the official 2011 Italian census, the 41 seats to the Regional Council (including that reserved to the president-elect), which must be covered by proportional representation, are so distributed between the ten Tuscan provinces. The Metropolitan City of Florence is further divided into four smaller electoral constituencies: the first constituency consists solely of the city of Florence, the second is located to the east of the city, the third consists of the western part of the metropolitan city around Empoli, and the fourth consists of Florence's closest western suburbs (Scandicci and Sesto Fiorentino).

Tomasi won narrow 0.7% pluralities in Grosseto and Massa-Carrara, and was 277 votes short of a majority in Pistoia. Giani won strong majorities in and around Florence, Pisa, and Livorno. Bundu came third with 5% of the vote, while the left-wing list supporting her did not reach the 5% threshold for individual lists. In the region's 39 comuni with populations over 20,000, Giani won in 31, including Florence's suburb of Sesto Fiorentino, where he won over two-thirds of the vote while the AVS list received more votes than PD. Tomasi's strongest result was in Montecatini Terme, which he won by 20%, while Bundu's strongest result was in Piombino, where she received one eighth of the votes. As a result, Tuscany maintained its 150-year old trend as part of Italy's Red Belt and its status as a red region (regione rossa).
