Casentino Referendum: No Wins in All Municipalities

The result of the justice referendum in Casentino mirrors provincial and national trends: the No option secured the majority. Beyond the percentages, the vote highlighted strong civic participation and widespread local debate.

• Overall result: No 53.30% — Yes 46.70%.
• Turnout: over 66% in Casentino; in Pratovecchio Stia turnout exceeded 70%.
• Municipal details: Bibbiena recorded No at 54.52%; Chitignano saw the narrowest margin with No at 50.63%.

The extended campaign involved local administrations, cultural associations, libraries and community hubs, where public discussions and informational events took place.
