2022 Italian presidential election
← 2015 from 4 January 2022 2029 →
1,009 voters
(315 Senators, 6 Senators for life,
630 Deputies and 58 regional representatives)
673 or 505 votes needed to win

The 2022 Italian presidential election will be held in January 2022. The President of the Republic will be elected by the Italian Parliament and the regional representatives.

Incumbent president Sergio Mattarella, who is eligible for another term, has declined to do so.

Background

See also: 2016 Italian constitutional referendum, 2018 Italian general election, 2019 Italian government formation, 2020 Italian constitutional referendum, and 2021 Italian government crisis
The outgoing president, Sergio Mattarella, whose term will expire in February 2022

The incumbent president, Sergio Mattarella, was elected in 2015 by the Parliament and regional representatives. Mattarella was supported by then Prime Minister and Democratic Party (PD) leader Matteo Renzi. The result of the 2016 constitutional referendum led to Renzi's resignation and to the formation of the Gentiloni Cabinet.

In 2018, the general election resulted in a hung Parliament, and in the formation of the Conte I Cabinet supported by a coalition between the Five Star Movement (M5S) and Matteo Salvini's League.

In August 2019, after 14 months of government activity, Salvini withdrew the League's support for the government. On 5 September, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte managed to form a new cabinet, this time supported by a coalition between the M5S and the PD. From the beginning of 2020, the new government had to face the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused over 100,000 deaths in Italy as of June 2021.

In September 2020, Italy held a constitutional referendum, which confirmed the reduction of the number of Parliament seats from 630 to 400 in the Chamber of Deputies and from 315 to 200 in the Senate.

In January 2021, Renzi revoked his support from the Conte II government. The subsequent political crisis and the ongoing health crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic prompted the formation of a national unity government led by former European Central Bank President Mario Draghi.

Procedure

In accordance with the Constitution of Italy, the election is held in the form of a secret ballot, with 321 Senators, 630 Deputies and 58 regional representatives entitled to vote. Each of the 20 regions will have three representatives except for Aosta Valley which will only have one. The election is held in the Palazzo Montecitorio, home of the Chamber of Deputies, with the capacity of the assembly room expanded for the purpose. The first three ballots require a two-thirds majority of the 1,009 voters to elect a President, or 673 votes. Starting from the fourth ballot, an absolute majority is required for candidates to be elected, or 505 votes. The presidential mandate lasts seven years.

The election will be presided over by the President of the Chamber of Deputies Roberto Fico, who proceeds to the public counting of the votes, and by the President of the Senate Elisabetta Casellati.
