 Office workers, housewives, students and even the nuns in a row to choose the mayor candidate of the center. A participation that goes beyond expectations. So much so that 40 percent of the seats demanded an integration of cards, having them sold out.

 
 

The first of the four challengers to vote is the candidate proposed by the Socialists, Antonio Marfella, which at 9.20 came on a motorbike in the street Stella seat. Antonio Bassolino despite the bad weather has not given up its run on the seafront Caracciolo and then went to vote in the polling station Posillipo. The youngest candidate Marco Sarracino, at 10 he went into his seat in Scampia. Closes Valeria Valente, who went to vote at polling station of the Pendino quarter.
