# 1997 Legnago mayoral election, first round

[Italy](https://electionsarchive.com/it.md) / [Veneto](https://electionsarchive.com/it/veneto.md) / [Legnago](https://electionsarchive.com/it/veneto/legnago.md), April 27, 1997

Stefano Flangini led with 34.3% of the vote, 12.5 points ahead of Silvio Gandini.

> 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.
