"Here in this school, which has a lot of participation, it is still early to have indicators about people's mobilization for active participation in the electoral act, but I am confident that this will be an important step, in this region, so that we can have more and better democracy", said Edgar Silva.
Edgar Silva was speaking to Lusa after voting in a polling station in the parish of Santa Luzia, set up at Francisco Franco Secondary School, in the center of Funchal.
The also regional coordinator of the CDU reiterated that he expects that today's electoral act "will result in better conditions so that the Autonomous Region of Madeira can have the prospects of more and better democracy in the future".
More than 254 thousand voters are called to vote today and 14 candidacies are presented to form a new parliament and a new government.
At stake in the elections, with a single constituency, are 47 seats in the Regional Legislative Assembly and, according to data from the Ministry of Internal Administration, 254,522 voters are registered to vote, of which 249,075 on the island of Madeira and 5,447 on the island of Porto Santo.
The 292 polling stations distributed over the 54 parishes of the 11 municipalities of the archipelago are open between 08:00 and 19:00.
In the race are a coalition and 13 single parties. In relation to the regional elections of 2023, the only difference in terms of competing parties is the fact that PSD and CDS-PP (which governed together in the last two legislatures) appear on separate lists, when last year they went to the polls in coalition.
Today's early elections take place eight months after the most recent regional elections, after the President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, dissolved the Madeiran parliament, following the political crisis triggered in January, when the leader of the Regional Government (PSD/CDS-PP), Miguel Albuquerque, was constituted as a defendant in a process in which suspicions of corruption are being investigated.
The executive has been under management ever since.
In the last legislature, the Legislative Assembly of Madeira had 20 representatives from the PSD, three from the CDS-PP, 11 from the PS, five from the JPP and four from Chega. The CDU, the BE, the PAN and the IL each held one seat.
