Municipal elections took place in Rome on 3–4 October 2021 and 17–18 October 2021. Open for election were the office of Mayor of Rome and all the 48 seats of the City Council, as well as the presidents and councils of each of the fifteen municipi in which the city is divided.
Local elections in Italy are usually scheduled between 15 April and 15 June, however on 4 March 2021 the Italian government decided to postpone them to the autumn following a new spike of cases in the coronavirus pandemic.[1]
Roberto Gualtieri, member of the Democratic Party (PD) and former minister, was elected mayor, winning in the runoff against centre-right independent Enrico Michetti with just over 60% of the vote.[2] The incumbent mayor Virginia Raggi was defeated after failing to qualify for the runoff.[3]
