[edit] Legislative branch
The Regional Council of Lazio (Consiglio Regionale del Lazio) is composed of 70 members, of which 55 are elected in provincial constituencies with proportional representation, 14 from the so-called "regional list" of the elected President and the last one is for the candidate for President who comes second, who usually becomes the leader of the opposition in the Council. If a coalition wins more than 55% of the vote, only 7 candidates from the "regional list" will be elected and the number of those elected in provincial constituencies will be 62.[2][3]
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 prevision (introduced in 1999), also the Council will be dissolved and there will be a fresh election.[4]

[edit] Elections
[edit] Last regional election
In the last regional election, which took place on 3-4 April 2005, Piero Marrazzo (Indep. The Union) defeated incumbent Francesco Storace (National Alliance).
The defeat in Lazio for House of Freedoms was especially important as the centre-right expected to maintain control of the Region. Storace, a leading member in the centre-right, was subsequently granted the status of Minister of Public Health in Berlusconi III Cabinet.
During the electoral campaign, Storace came out with factual evidence that Alessandra Mussolini's Alternativa Sociale had added fake signatures to real ones to reach the minimum number needed to present a list. However, to demonstrate this, he had someone "hack" into the database of the municipality of Rome in order to verify the signatures: he was therefore nicknamed "Storhacker" by Mussolini. It also appeared that someone spied on the left-wing candidate Marrazzo.[5]
| Candidates | Incumbent | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| The Union | House of Freedoms | Social Alternative | |
| Piero Marrazzo 1,628,486 (50.7%) |
Francesco Storace 1,522,198 (47.4%) |
Alessandra Mussolini 62,352 (1.9%) |
Francesco Storace |
