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

Giovanni Saito led with 38.3% of the vote, 3.0 points ahead of Giacomo Mulè.

> 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.
