[Italy](https://electionsarchive.com/it.md) / [Veneto](https://electionsarchive.com/it/veneto.md) / [Vicenza](https://electionsarchive.com/it/veneto/vicenza.md), April 13, 2008

Amalia Sartori led with 39.3% of the vote, 8.0 points ahead of Achille Variati.

> 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.
