2024 European Parliament election in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol

The European Parliament election of 2024 took place in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, as well as the rest of Italy, on 8–9 June 2024.

The Brothers of Italy, which came first also at the country-level, was by the most voted list in Trentino (26.3%), while the South Tyrolean People's Party as by far the largest party in South Tyrol (47.0%). SVP's Herbert Dorfmann, the outgoing three-term MEP, was largely the most voted candidate in the region (80,173 preference votes), followed by Brigitte Foppa of the Greens–Greens and Left Alliance (25,390). Dorfmann was the only candidate from the region to be elected (in his case, re-elected) to the European Parliament.

Background

Of the two provinces forming Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, Trentino was dominated by an autonomist centre-left coalition from the 1998 provincial election to the 2018 provincial election, while South Tyrol by the South Tyrolean People's Party (SVP). The latter and its sister-party in Trentino, the Trentino Tyrolean Autonomist Party (PATT), were frequent allies of the Democratic Party, both at the provincial level and countrywide. However, after the 2018 provincial elections, the SVP slowly aligned with the centre-right coalition and the PATT did the same since the 2023 provincial election.

In the run-up of the election, the SVP and the PATT confirmed their electoral pact with Forza Italia, that had been first signed five years before due to their common affiliation with the European People's Party. Even though Die Freiheitlichen announced their candidacy in April 2024, they did not submit a symbol the same month.
