[Italy](https://electionsarchive.com/it.md) / [Sicilia](https://electionsarchive.com/it/sicilia.md) / [Augusta](https://electionsarchive.com/it/sicilia/augusta.md), May 24, 1998

Giuseppe Gulino led with 37.5% of the vote, 9.9 points ahead of Giuseppe Detto Puccio Forestiere.

> 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.
