# 2002 Cittadella mayoral election, first round

[Italy](https://electionsarchive.com/it.md) / [Veneto](https://electionsarchive.com/it/veneto.md) / [Cittadella](https://electionsarchive.com/it/veneto/cittadella.md), May 26, 2002

Massimo Bitonci led with 35.3% of the vote, 2.3 points ahead of Stefano Svegliado.

> 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.
