Electoral system
May 2026
For the 1995 election year, regional elections in Tuscany were governed by the "Tatarella Law". This law provided for a mixed electoral system: four-fifths of regional councilors were elected in provincial constituencies by proportional representation, using the largest remainder method with a droop quota and open lists. The residual votes and unassigned seats were grouped into a single regional constituency, where the whole ratios and the highest remainders were divided using the Hare method among the provincial party lists. One-fifth of council seats were reserved for regional lists and assigned with a majoritarian system; the leader of the regional list that scored the highest number of votes was elected to the presidency of the region, while the other candidates were elected as regional councilors.
A threshold of 3% had been established for the provincial lists, which, however, could still have entered the regional council if the regional list to which they were connected had scored at least 5% of valid votes.
Panachage was also allowed: a voter could indicate a candidate for the presidency but prefer a provincial list connected to another candidate.

Results
The election resulted in the success of a broad leftist coalition, grouping progressive ex–Christian Democrats, ex-socialists, ex-communists, and greens, and led to the regional presidency of Vannino Chiti that, with the majority premium, was able to give life to the first council in the history of the region that managed to last the entire legislature.
