# 2002 Verona mayoral election, first round

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

Pierluigi Bolla led with 45.6% of the vote, 6.9 points ahead of Paolo Zanotto.

> 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.
