The situation of the electoral sections closed in Palermo due to the lack of section presidents is gradually normalizing. This trend was also confirmed by the Interior Ministry which made it known that in the meantime the last 13 section presidents who had passed away due to sudden renunciations have been appointed in the Sicilian capital and are taking office. In view of this, therefore, always underline by the Interior Ministry, “soon the voting operations will be regular in all 600 city sections”. “All the voters who are at 11pm this Sunday present in the premises of the polling station or within the school complex or other building where the polling station is located, they can exercise their right to vote even after 11 pm, until the voting operations of all the aforementioned voters have been completed “, announces the Interior Ministry, in particular in relation to what happened in Palermo.
The situation of the polling stations, an anomaly that characterized this administrative and referendum round, would have been caused by the renunciation by subjects appointed to carry out the function of polling stations due to the concomitant final, which will be held this evening at the ‘Renzo Barbera stadium. ‘, of the football match for the Serie C Play off final with Padova for promotion to B, an appointment for which a full house is expected with over 34 thousand spectators.
Many politicians, in particular the Northern League leader Matteo Salvini, but also the candidates in the city, asked for the intervention of the judicial authorities in the morning, to which the municipal administration had already sent the documents.
Now, however, it seems, everything would have normalized, also in light of the fact that the Interior Ministry has made it known that the times of the seats cannot be changed, except by enacting a new law. Also from the Ministry of the Interior it was made known that the seats not constituted in Palermo due to the resignation of presidents, and which have not been replaced, have been merged with the sections already operating where the vote is in progress.
“What is happening in Palermo belongs to one extreme gravity, such as to distort these elections. If a single citizen has been denied the right to vote, the elections can be annulled “. The president of the Palermo Bar Association, Antonella Armetta, writes this on his Facebook profile.” But a political attack is not acceptable – he adds – because the the competence to manage the polling presidents does not belong to the municipalities. The Minister of the Interior intervenes immediately, these elections must be stopped here “.
