Overview

  • Franco Ianeselli of the center-left coalition won re-election in Trento with 54.5% of the vote, avoiding a runoff.
  • In Bolzano, center-right candidate Claudio Corrarati led with 36.2%, followed by center-left candidate Juri Andriollo at 27.2%; they will face off in a May 18 runoff.
  • Voter turnout dropped significantly compared to 2020, with Trento at 49.9% and Bolzano at 52.2%, reflecting a broader trend of electoral disengagement.
  • The Südtiroler Volkspartei (SVP), which governs provincially with the center-right, is expected to play a decisive role in Bolzano's runoff outcome.
