The 2024 Umbrian regional election took place on 17 and 18 November 2024. The centre-left candidate, mayor of Assisi Stefania Proietti, defeated incumbent centre-right president Donatella Tesei, who ran for re-election, by 5 points.
Electoral system The candidate who obtains a plurality of votes on a regional level is elected President of Umbria and the winning coalition receives 60% of the seats in the Legislative Assembly, i.e. 12 seats, excluding the seat reserved to the president. All other candidates for president who have not been elected but are linked to lists or coalitions that have elected at least one councillor are automatically elected to the Legislative Assembly.
The allocation of seats by coalitions and lists takes place on a proportional basis using a largest remainder method with open lists, with a 2.5% threshold for all lists and with a maximum limit of 10 seats obtainable for a single list.
Each candidate for president cannot spend more than €100,000, each candidate for regional councillor cannot spend more than €25,000 and each list cannot spend more than €1 multiplied by the number of inhabitants of the Region.
