Politics of Sardinia

The Regional Council of Sardinia (Italian: Consiglio Regionale della Sardegna;Sardinian: Cunsìgiu regionale de Sardìgna) is the legislative assembly of the autonomous region of Sardinia.

The assembly was established on 26 February 1948, while the first election took place on 8 May 1949.

Composition

The Regional Council of Sardinia is composed of 60 members, of which 58 are elected in provincial constituencies with proportional representation, one is for the candidate for president who comes second, who usually becomes the leader of the opposition in the Council, and one is for the elected president.

The council is elected for a five-year term, but, if the president suffers a vote of no confidence, resigns or dies, under the simul stabunt vel simul cadent clause (introduced in 2004), also the Council will be dissolved and there will be a snap election.[1]

Following the modification of the Regional Statute, in 2013 the number of regional councillors was reduced from 80 to 60.[2]
