(Handle)
Polling stations open from 7 in Molise, where you vote today and tomorrow for the Regionals.
This is a new test for the centre-right coalition leading the country, as well as for the opposition. We are looking in particular at the result that Roberto Gravina (Movimento 5 Stelle) will be able to obtain supported by the center-left coalition, with a view to a stable alliance between pentastellati and the Democratic Party.
The other two candidates in the running are Francesco Roberti (Forza Italia) supported by the centre-right (7 lists) and Emilio Izzo supported by the protest list "I don't vote for the usual suspects", which has a pig as its symbol.
Those entitled to vote are 327,805, but among these there are 85,000 residing abroad. A very high incidence, that of Molise who live outside Italy, equal to about 30%.
