[Italy](https://electionsarchive.com/it.md) / [Piemonte](https://electionsarchive.com/it/piemonte.md) / [Valenza](https://electionsarchive.com/it/piemonte/valenza.md), May 24, 2026

Luca Ballerini led with 34.7% of the vote, 4.5 points ahead of Maria Maddalena Griva.

> Results are by municipality, from the Interior Ministry's open data file for this round of municipal elections; where the file reports polling sections, they are summed by municipality. No candidate won an absolute majority, so the top two went to a runoff on the second Sunday after (TUEL art. 72); the runoff date is that rule's, as the open data gives only the first round's date.
