# 2012 Canosa di Puglia mayoral election, first round

[Italy](https://electionsarchive.com/it.md) / [Puglia](https://electionsarchive.com/it/puglia.md) / [Canosa di Puglia](https://electionsarchive.com/it/puglia/canosa-di-puglia.md), May 6, 2012

Sabino Antonio Caporale led with 39.6% of the vote, 18.8 points ahead of Ernesto La Salvia.

> 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.
