Electoral law
Since 2012, Lombardy has adopted its own legislation to elect its Council, very similar to national Tatarella Law of 1995.
While the President of Lombardy and the leader of the opposition are still elected at-large, 78 councilors are elected by party lists under a form of semi-proportional representation. The winning coalition receives a jackpot of at least 45 seats, which are divided between all majority parties using the D'Hondt method, as it happens between the losing lists. Each party then distributes its seats to its provincial lists, where candidates are openly selected.
According to the Law 17 February 1968, no. 108, the Regional Council is elected every five years. The election can take place since the fourth Sunday before the completion of this five years period.
