1996 Sicilian regional election

The 1996 Sicilian regional election was held on 16 June 1996.

The Sicilian Regional Assembly ended up very fragmented after the election and it was difficult to form a stable governing coalition. Between 1996 and 2001 the Region was thus governed by a succession of short-lived governments.
