[Italy](https://electionsarchive.com/it.md) / [Puglia](https://electionsarchive.com/it/puglia.md) / [Gravina in Puglia](https://electionsarchive.com/it/puglia/gravina-in-puglia.md), May 6, 2012

Alesio Valente led with 49.8% of the vote, 7.7 points ahead of Onofrio Detto Rino Vendola.

> 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.
