Mayoral and Council election, 2016

Can someone explain to me exactly how mayoral and council elections work in Italian cities with populations greater than 2015? I've read all of the English language articles here on Wikipedia about them, as well as the actual law on this, and I still don't understand the process and sequences of how seats are distributed after the election. I was under the impression that the results from the first round (if there are two rounds) determined the distribution of seats on the council, but the 2016 elections in Turin shows that this cannot be the case. How does the centre-left get 41% of the vote - 10 points more than Five Star - in the first round, and end up with only 10 seats to to Five Star's 24 seats? I understand there is a majority bonus, but the whole thing is confusing. --Criticalthinker (talk) 01:50, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I found this. So, it seems that seats are not distributed until after a candidate wins for mayor, be it the first or second round. The article also seems to say that so long as the mayoral candidate wins an absolute majority - be it in the first or second round - that he or she gets the majority bonus of 60% of the seats for the connected lists no matter how few votes they win, so long as no other competing group of lists has won an absolute majority of the vote in the first round. Is this correct? That would explain how Fassino's lists could get 41.88% of the vote versus the 30.01% of the vote the Five Star list garnered in the first round, yet still only end up with 10 seats. Well, with that out of the way, what happens in a scenario where you have a two-round election for mayor where a candidate only wins a plurality, and where no group of lists wins a majority in the first round, either? How are seats distributed in that case? Entirely proportionally? And how about a scenario in which there is a two-round election for mayor where neither candidates wins an absolute majority, but where a group of lists connected to the winning mayoral candidate wins an absolute majority? Without a majority for the mayoral candidate, do the group of lists connected to him win proportionally, or are they still afforded the majority bonus? --Criticalthinker (talk) 12:03, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
