[Italy](https://electionsarchive.com/it.md) / [Sicilia](https://electionsarchive.com/it/sicilia.md) / [Favara](https://electionsarchive.com/it/sicilia/favara.md), May 26, 2002

Domenico Palumbo Piccionello led with 42.9% of the vote, 13.2 points ahead of Lorenzo Airò.

> 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.
