[Italy](https://electionsarchive.com/it.md) / [Veneto](https://electionsarchive.com/it/veneto.md) / [Thiene](https://electionsarchive.com/it/veneto/thiene.md), May 6, 2012

Giovanni Battista Casarotto led with 46.6% of the vote, 16.7 points ahead of Maria Rita Busetti.

> 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.
