[Italy](https://electionsarchive.com/it.md) / [Veneto](https://electionsarchive.com/it/veneto.md) / [Abano Terme](https://electionsarchive.com/it/veneto/abano-terme.md), May 13, 2001

Giovanni Ponchio led with 35.7% of the vote, 9.0 points ahead of Marino Massarotti.

> 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.
