Chiara Appendino, the candidate of the Five Star Movement (M5S), was elected after defeating the incumbent mayor Piero Fassino in the runoff election on 19 June. As a centre-left coalition stronghold that always elected a centre-left mayor since direct elections began in 1993, Fassino (who finished first in the first round by a comfortable margin) was considered the frontrunner and Appendino's win was an upset. Appendino's win also marked the first win for the M5S in a major Italian city and occurred during a wave of mayoral victories by the M5S in the 2016 Italian local elections.De Nardo Tony 19 October 2021 Sono ventuno i sindaci di Torino dal dopoguerra https://www.cittagora.it/altre-notizie/15904.html/ live https://web.archive.org/web/20251218094053/https://www.cittagora.it/altre-notizie/15904.html/ 18 December 2025 20 December 2025 CittAgorà it Farina Gabriele 19 June 2024 Tutti i sindaci di Torino, dai decurioni ai sindaci eletti dai cittadini https://www.quotidianopiemontese.it/2024/06/19/tutti-i-sindaci-di-torino-dai-decurioni-ai-sindaci-eletti-dai-cittadini/ live https://web.archive.org/web/20240620013617/https://www.quotidianopiemontese.it/2024/06/19/tutti-i-sindaci-di-torino-dai-decurioni-ai-sindaci-eletti-dai-cittadini/ 20 June 2024 20 December 2025 Quotidiano Piemontese it2024 Storico Elezioni Comunali di Torino (TO) https://www.tuttitalia.it/piemonte/72-torino/storico-elezioni-comunali/ live https://web.archive.org/web/20250216173707/https://www.tuttitalia.it/piemonte/72-torino/storico-elezioni-comunali/ 16 February 2025 20 December 2025 Tuttitalia.it it The results were widely reported as a major breakthrough for the M5S, which had previously been seen as a protest party rather than a significant political force.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jun/19/rome-likely-to-have-elected-its-first-female-mayor Anti-establishment candidates elected to lead Rome and Turin Scammell Rosie The Guardian 20 June 2016 27 December 2025 Voting system The voting system for the office of mayor of Turin is used for all mayoral elections in Italy in the cities with a population higher than 15,000 inhabitants. Under this system, voters express a direct choice for the mayor or an indirect choice voting for the party of the candidate's coalition. If no candidate receives 50% of votes, the top two candidates go to a second round after two weeks. As a result, the winning candidate can claim majority support, although it is not guaranteed. The election of the City Council of Turin is based on a direct choice for the candidate with a preference vote and the candidate with the majority of the preferences is elected. The number of the seats for each party is determined proportionally.http://elezioni.interno.it/contenuti/report/dossier_amministrative_giugno2016.pdf Elezioni amministrative 2016 – Il dossier Italian Ministry of Interior it 26 December 2025 11 June 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20170611130648/http://elezioni.interno.it/contenuti/report/dossier_amministrative_giugno2016.pdf dead Political parties and political candidates Among the main candidates and coalitions that took part to the election were left-wing, centre-left, centrist, centre-right, and right-wing coalitions, plus the M5S.Grandi Augusto 27 April 2016 Turin mayoral election redraws political boundaries between left and right http://www.italy24.ilsole24ore.com/art/politics/2016-04-26/surprises-lurk-turin-s-mayor-s-race--131855.php?uuid=AC2CEfFD dead https://web.archive.org/web/20160617091345/http://www.italy24.ilsole24ore.com/art/politics/2016-04-26/surprises-lurk-turin-s-mayor-s-race--131855.php?uuid=AC2CEfFD 17 June 2016 25 December 2025 Il Sole 24 Ore Political force or allianceConstituent party or listsCandidateLeft-wing coalition Turin in Common (SEL, PRC, PCdI, AET, FaS) Giorgio Airaudo Turin Environment (Pos, GI) Civic listCentre-left coalition Democratic Party (PD)Piero Fassino Moderates Civic lists Five Star Movement Five Star Movement (M5S) Chiara AppendinoCentrist coalition Rosso for Mayor (CoR)Roberto Rosso Union of the Centre – Popular Area (UDC–AP) Democratic Alliance (AD) Moderates in Revolution (MIR)Centre-right coalition Forza Italia (FI)Osvaldo Napoli Civic listsRight-wing coalition Northern League (LN)Alberto Morano Brothers of Italy (FdI) Opinion polling First round Date Polling firm Fassino Appendino Morano Napoli Airaudo Rosso Others Lead 5 June 2016 Election result 41.8 30.9 8.3 5.3 3.7 5.0 8.7 10.9 18–19 May 2016 IPRMarch 2018 InternetArchiveBot yes 41.0 29.0 9.0 8.0 7.0 3.0 3.0 12.0 17 May 2016 TecnèMarch 2018 InternetArchiveBot yes 38.5 30.0 9.0 8.0 7.5 1.5 5.0 8.5 16–17 May 2016 IPRMarch 2018 InternetArchiveBot yes 40.0 29.0 9.0 8.0 6.0 2.0 6.0 11.0 9–17 May 2016 Demos&PiMarch 2018 InternetArchiveBot yes 42.5 23.1 7.3 9.9 7.3 7.5 2.4 19.4 4–6 May 2016 Index ResearchMarch 2018 InternetArchiveBot yes 39.5 30.0 9.0 8.0 9.0 2.0 2.5 9.5 2–5 May 2016 ScenariPolitici 45.0 25.5 11.5 5.0 8.0 4.0 1.0 19.5 2 May 2016 TencèMarch 2018 InternetArchiveBot yes 39.0 31.5 9.5 8.5 7.5 2.0 2.0 7.5 20–23 April 2016 ScenariPolitici 47.0 23.0 12.0 5.0 8.0 4.0 1.0 24.0 19 April 2016 TencèMarch 2018 InternetArchiveBot yes 41.0 30.0 11.0 9.0 7.0 1.0 1.0 11.0 Second round Fassino vs. Appendino Date Polling firm Fassino Appendino Lead 19 June 2016 Election result 45.4 54.5 9.1 17 May 2016 TecnèMarch 2018 InternetArchiveBot yes 52.0 48.0 4.0 16–17 May 2016 IPRMarch 2018 InternetArchiveBot yes 51.5 48.5 3.0 9–17 May 2016 Demos&PiMarch 2018 InternetArchiveBot yes 56.8 43.2 13.6 2–5 May 2016 ScenariPolitici 52.5 47.5 5.0 2 May 2016 TecnèMarch 2018 InternetArchiveBot yes 51.5 48.5 3.0 20–23 April 2016 ScenariPolitici 54.0 46.0 8.0 19 April 2016 TecnèMarch 2018 InternetArchiveBot yes 52.0 48.0 4.0 Fassino vs. Morano Date Polling firm Fassino Morano Lead 2–5 May 2016 ScenariPolitici 61.0 39.0 22.0 20–23 April 2016 ScenariPolitici 62.0 38.0 24.0 Results + Summary of the 5–19 June 2016 Turin City Council election results Candidate First round Second round Leader'sseats Political party or party list Votes % Seats Votes % Votes % Chiara Appendino 118,273 30.92 202,764 54.56 – Five Star Movement 107,680 30.01 24 Piero Fassino 160,023 41.84 168,880 45.44 15 Democratic Party 106,818 29.77 8 Moderates 21,307 5.94 1 Fassino List 14,898 4.15 1 Left for the City 7,253 2.02 –Alberto Morano 32,103 8.39 – – 15 Northern League 20,769 5.79 1 Brothers of Italy 5,259 1.47 – Morano list 4,983 1.39 –Osvaldo Napoli 20,349 5.32 – – 15 Forza Italia 16,684 4.65 – Let's Save the Ophthalmic 2.435 0.68 – A Dream for Turin 567 0.16 –Roberto Rosso 19,334 5.05 – – 15 Rosso List 11,339 3.16 – Union of the Centre – Popular Area 5,114 1.43 – Pensioners' Union 1,568 0.44 – Democratic Alliance 409 0.11 – Moderates in Revolution 321 0.09 –Giorgio Airaudo 14,166 3.70 – – 15 Turin in Common 10,115 2.82 – Turin Environment (Possible – Green Italia) 2,244 0.63 – Pensioners and Disabled 1,077 0.30 –Gianluca Noccetti 5,251 1.37 – – – Piedmont Padanian League 2,937 0.82 – 4-Legged Friends 1,321 0.37 – Forza Toro 484 0.13 – Unemployed.
