The regional elections in Liguria will be held tomorrow from 7 am to 11 pm and on Monday from 7 am to 3 pm. Due to the bad weather that hit the region, some polling stations in risk areas have been relocated. This decision was taken during a meeting between the Ligurian Prefectures, the Regional Electoral Office, Arpal and the Civil Protection, to discuss the measures needed to ensure that the vote could take place in relation to the current weather alert. It has been confirmed that the voting operations will take place as planned. Today, polling stations were set up regularly throughout Liguria. The Prefectures and Municipalities are carefully monitoring the situation in synergy with the Region, the Civil Protection and Arpal, to ensure a safe vote. In some Municipalities, polling stations have been moved from areas exposed to danger.
