2013 Friuli-Venezia Giulia regional election


The Friuli-Venezia Giulia regional election of 2013 took place on 21–22 April 2013 in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of Italy.
Debora Serracchiani, Socialist MEP and regional leader of the Democratic Party, narrowly defeated incumbent Renzo Tondo of The People of Freedom 39.4% to 39.0%; Saverio Galluccio of the Five Star Movement came third with 19.2% of the vote. Serracchiani was the second woman to hold the office of President of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, after Alessandra Guerra of Lega Nord Friuli in 1994–1995. The turnout was a record low as a mere 50.5% of eligible voters turned out to vote.
In the election, the PD was the most voted list with 26.8%, but the combined result of the PdL and its sister-list Responsible Autonomy was 30.7%. Other than LNF, two other regional parties, Citizens for the President and Slovene Union, gained seats in the Regional Council.
On the same day of the regional election, also provincial and municipal elections were held. LNF's Pietro Fontanini was re-elected President of the Province of Udine by beating PD's Andrea Lerussi 50.0% to 41.1%. In the occasion, the separatist Friulian Front made its debut in electoral politics with 5.7% of the vote. In Udine no candidate for mayor passed the required 50%; a run-off will be held on 5–6 May.
