[Italy](https://electionsarchive.com/it.md) / [Sicilia](https://electionsarchive.com/it/sicilia.md) / [Militello in Val di Catania](https://electionsarchive.com/it/sicilia/militello-in-val-di-catania.md), May 24, 1998

Antonio Lo Presti led with 33.5% of the vote, 5.3 points ahead of Vittorio Musumeci.

> 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.
