[Italy](https://electionsarchive.com/it.md) / [Puglia](https://electionsarchive.com/it/puglia.md) / [Casamassima](https://electionsarchive.com/it/puglia/casamassima.md), May 25, 2003

Domenico Vito De Tommaso led with 34.9% of the vote, 2.2 points ahead of Antonio Lucio Episcopo.

> 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.
