VOTING LEADERS
The President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella voted this morning, at 8.45 am, in the “Giovanni XXIII – Piazzi” school in Palermo. The head of state anticipated the arrival in the institute in via Rutelli, to avoid the concomitance with the commemoration ceremony for the killing of judge Cesare Terranova and marshal Lenin Mancus, which took place on 25 September 1979 in the same street. The head of state voted, as usual, in section 535, greeted by applause from the tellers and people present.
