Overview

According to the Italian Constitution, the mayor of Brescia is a member of the City Council.

The mayor is elected by the population of Brescia, who also elects the members of the City Council, the legislative body which checks the mayor's policy guidelines and is able to enforce his resignation by a motion of no confidence. The mayor is entitled to appoint and release the members of his executive.

Since 1994 the mayor is elected directly by Brescia's electorate: in all mayoral elections in Italy in cities with a population higher than 15,000 voters express a direct choice for the mayor or an indirect choice voting for the party of the candidate's coalition. If no candidate receives at least 50% of votes, the top two candidates go to a second round after two weeks. The election of the City Council is based on a direct choice for the candidate with a preference vote: the candidate with the majority of the preferences is elected. The number of the seats for each party is determined proportionally on the base of a majority bonus system.

Notes

1. Under the provisions of the new local administration law (Legislative Decree 18 August 2000, n. 267), which reintroduced the five years term for City Councils and directly-elected Mayors, the election would have been scheduled for December 2003. Nonetheless since 1999 local elections in Italy have always taken place between April and June. For this reason the 2003 election was anticipated on 25–26 May that year.

Mayoral and City Council election, 2008

The election took place on 13–14 April 2008, the same dates of the national general election.
