Tommaso Calderone, deputy of Futuro Nazionale, in a question addressed to the ministers of the Interior and for Regional Affairs «asks for clarification on the electoral procedures followed in Sicily in view of the municipal elections of 24 and 25 May 2026». At the heart of the act, the admission of 15 lists without collecting signatures on the basis of notes from the 5th service of the regional department of local authorities and public administration. According to what was claimed in the question, the notes were sent by the Prefecture of Messina to the electoral commissions without adequate verification of their legitimacy. The act also contests the intervention of the general secretary of the Municipality of Messina in the investigation of the candidatures and the failure to publish some institutional notes. The candidates, we read in the question, would have seen it only on April 24th. An opinion from the Legal and Legislative Office of the Sicilian Region, acquired on 28 April, would have expressed “a position contrary to the interpretation which allowed the exemption from signatures”. According to the question, «the Messina and Barcelona PG commissions would have decided on April 30 without knowing that opinion. We also note the pending appeals before the Regional Administrative Court of Catania, with the risk, according to the signatories, of annulment of the elections. The ministers are asked for clarifications on the dissemination of the notes and on the possible launch of an inspection of the Prefecture of Messina”. The act also calls for “assessments on possible accounting responsibilities and the publication of the regional opinion to ensure its availability”.
