Elections

Council elections (1946-1993)

After the Second World War, the first democratic election in Naples took place on November 10, 1946;[2] for the first time since 1926 the inhabitants (men and women, without distinction) could vote their representatives in the City Council with the proportional system of vote.

In 1946 the conservatives parties of the monarchists and Christian democratics received the 53% of the votes and a big representation in the City Council; the Popular Democratic Front, which was composed by communists and socialists, received the 31% of the votes and didn't hav the majority in the City Council.

The same thing happened in the others elections (May 25, 1952; May 27, 1956; November 6, 1960; June 10, 1962); instead of the rest of Italy, in Naples the monarchists were very populars and obteined the majority in the City Council for more than 15 years.

In 1964 for the first time the Christian Democracy obteined the 34% of the votes and a strong majority in the City Council.

On 15 June 1975 the communists won the election and could form a coalition with the socialists for have the majority in the Council: the first communist mayor of Naples was Mauro Valenzi (who was re-elected after 1980's election).[3]

The following is the number of seats of each party in the City Council after each election:
