At 11 pm yesterday, the first day of voting, a 39.38 percent turnout was registered. The highest figures came from the regions in which regional and administrative elections are also voted, that is, Valle d’Aosta (56.37%), Trentino-Alto Adige (54.42%), Veneto (51, 04 percent) and Tuscany (48.29). Participation was very low in Sicily (24.78 percent) and Sardinia (23.41 percent).
