The 2025 Apulian regional election is scheduled to take place in Apulia, Italy, on 23–24 November 2025.[1]
Electoral system
[edit]The Regional Council of Apulia is made up of 51 seats, in which, one is reserved for the President and the second place candidate, per the electorate law. The first 23 seats are divided at the district level and the remaining 27 at the level of the single regional constituency. The law provides for a single round, with list voting, the possibility of expressing two preferences of different gender within the chosen list, and voting for the candidate for president, on a single ballot.
It is possible to vote for a slate and a candidate for the chair that are not connected to each other (split vote).

The candidate who obtains the majority (even only relative) of the votes is elected President of the Region. The lists linked to the elected president are eventually assigned a majority bonus in the following measure:
- At least 29 seats if the elected president has obtained a percentage of preferences higher than 40%
- At least 28 seats if the elected president has obtained a percentage of preferences between 35% and 40%.
- If it falls below 35%, at least 27 councilors would be assigned.
The law provides for a threshold of 8% for coalitions and lists that run on their own and 4% for lists that present themselves in a coalition.
