Political elections. Extraordinary openings of the registry offices and the electoral office for the issuing of membership cards and identity cards

Milan, 24 September 2022 – There are 3.151 newly eighteen-year-olds from Milan who will be able to vote for the renewal of the Chamber of Deputies and – for the first time – also of the Senate of the Republic tomorrow, Sunday 25 September, out of a total number of 948.175 citizens , entitled to vote in Milan.   In order to vote it is essential to show up at the polling station with a valid identity document and electoral card. Those who have lost their card or have run out of spaces available can go, without the need for an appointment, to the electoral office in via Messina 52 or to the registry office in via Larga 12, open today until 19pm and tomorrow, Sunday 25th. , from 7am to 23pm.   Alternatively, it is possible to show up at the decentralized registry offices which will be open extraordinarily throughout the weekend from 8.30am to 12.30pm and from 14.00pm to 17.00pm. The locations are: via Padova 118 (Town Hall 2); via Sansovino 9 (Town Hall 3); via Oglio 18 (Town Hall 4); viale Tibaldi 41 (Town Hall 5); viale Legioni Romane 54 (Town Hall 6); Piazza Stovani 3 (Town Hall 7); Piazzale Accursio 5 (Town Hall 8); Largo De Benedetti 1 (Town Hall 9).   From 1 August to 22 September, municipal offices issued 36.798 voter ID cards and 26.103 identity cards.   The novelty this year is that the foreign seats will no longer be counted in Rome, but will be delegated to 5 metropolitan cities, including Milan, which will be responsible for counting the votes coming from Spain and Germany, i.e. 833 thousand potential voters.    The polling station designated to scrutinize the foreign vote has been set up at Rho Fiera Milano to which presidents and scrutineers will go starting from 9 am on Sunday. From there the actual work of opening the packages from the capital containing the electoral cards, the physical preparation of the polling stations and the sorting of the ballots will begin. The counting, however, will begin as in the other sections starting from 23 pm.   For those who serve as scrutineers or polling chairmen at the Fair, 1.500 free parking spaces will be made available (in the square in front of Pavilion 20) and a night shuttle service will be available every 30 minutes from MM Rho Fiera to MM Molino Dorino and vice versa. A sharing service is also guaranteed with related vehicles that can be collected in the square in front of Pavilion 20. Info and service booking: https://www.comune.milano.it/servizi/car-sharing  There are 1.248 ordinary polling stations set up in 197 buildings, 66 special polling stations and 211 in the foreign constituency. In addition to the number of scrutineers (5.124) and polling station presidents (1.248) envisaged for ordinary operations, Palazzo Marino has recruited a further 844 scrutineers and 211 presidents for the counting of the vote packets of Italians residing abroad.     Some electoral districts located in Municipalities 3 and 6 have undergone a change. These are numbers 621, 624, 638 and 642 which will move from via Stoppani to piazza Ascoli 2/a and 2/b near the Liceo Virgilio. While sections 1029, 1030, 1035 and 1333 will move from via del Cardellino to via dei Narcisi 2 and 2/a, vice versa for sections numbers 394, 1401, 539, 1411 to via del Cardellino 51. To this link the indication of the addresses involved. The citizens affected by the change in polling station received a communication at home sent by the Municipality; furthermore, signs posted near the centers will indicate the new address to which to go to vote.  The Administration, as for every electoral consultation, has made assisted and home voting available to the most vulnerable people. For the first, 23 requests were received, for the second 57.   Even people who test positive for Covid-19 or those who are forced to quarantine at home follow the home voting procedures. In this case the Municipality registered 7 requests.   To this link it is possible to consult the interactive map of the colleges.  More information is available at place dedicated.
