[Italy](https://electionsarchive.com/it.md) / [Sicilia](https://electionsarchive.com/it/sicilia.md) / [Sant'Agata di Militello](https://electionsarchive.com/it/sicilia/sant-agata-di-militello.md), November 30, 1997

Vincenzo Lo Re led with 36.7% of the vote, 7.3 points ahead of Gaetano Brancatelli.

> 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.
