The referendum

But in Tuscany, as in all of Italy, we also vote for the referendum in the cut or not of the parliamentarians. Cut the number of parliamentarians or not? This is the question of 46,641,856 Italians summoned to vote for the referendum on Sunday and Monday. To be precise, this will be the question voters will find. on the light green tab: “Approved the text of the constitutional law on ‘Modification of articles 56, 57 and 59 of the Constitution on the reduction of the number of parliamentarians’, approved by Parliament and published in the Official Gazette of the Italian Republic – General Series – n.240 of 12 October 2019? “. Yes or No. Simple answer. By checking the box we do consent to the cut, by checking the we do not prevent the cut.

Municipalities to vote for the mayor

In Tuscany exist 200 thousand voters call to the administrative shift for nine municipalities. Regarding municipalities with a population greater than 15 thousand inhabitants (and therefore with the possibility of voting in the event of not achieving an absolute majority for a candidate in the first round), a vote will be taken. Arezzo (the only provincial capital), Viareggio in the province of Lucca, Cascina in the province of Pisa.

Instead, five municipalities will elect the mayor in the first round because with a population of less than 15 thousand inhabitants: two municipalities in the province of Lucca (Coreglia Antelminelli, Sillano Giuncugnano), Villafranca in Lunigiana (Massa Carrara), Orciano Pisano (Pisa), Uzzano (Pistoia).

In case of Follonica (Grosseto), where they will vote but only for the ballot because the result of the first round (a year and a half ago) has in the meantime been rewritten by the TAR after counting some ballots. So for Follonica, you vote only for the ballot that will elect the mayor.
