The 2022 Italian presidential election was held in Rome between 24 and 29 January 2022. The president of Italy was elected by a joint assembly composed of the Italian Parliament and regional representatives.[6] The election process extended over multiple days,[7][8][9] culminating in incumbent president Sergio Mattarella being confirmed for a second term,[10][11][12] with a total of 759 votes on the eighth ballot.[13] This was the second most votes (after Sandro Pertini in 1978) ever received by a presidential candidate.[14] Mattarella became the second president to be re-elected, his predecessor Giorgio Napolitano being the first.[15][16][17]
Mattarella had initially ruled out a second term.[18][19] On 29 January, he agreed to serve a second term,[20] as most party leaders and Mario Draghi, the prime minister of Italy, asked him to accept their joint nomination for another term.[21][22][23] Mattarella had previously already received significant and growing support in several rounds of voting, namely 125 votes on the third ballot,[24] 166 votes on the fourth ballot,[25] 336 votes on the sixth ballot,[26] and 387 votes on the seventh ballot.[27] Among Italian presidential elections, the 2022 election had the highest number of ballots since 1992, when Oscar Luigi Scalfaro was elected on the 16th ballot.[28]
