Executive power is exercised by the Regional Government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the Regional Council.


Executive branch

The Regional Government (''Giunta Regionale'') is presided by the President of the Region (''Presidente della Regione''), who is elected for a five-year term, and is composed by the President and the Ministers (''Assessori''), who are currently 8, including a Vice President (''Vicepresidente'') and an undersecretary (''Sottosegretario'').


List of presidents


Legislative branch

The Regional Council of Abruzzo (''Consiglio Regionale dell'Abruzzo'') is composed of 40 members. 32 councillors are elected in Provinces of Italy, provincial constituencies by proportional representation using the largest remainder method with a Droop quota and open lists, while 8 councillors (elected in bloc) come from a "regional list", including the President-elect. One seat is reserved for the candidate who comes second. If a coalition wins more than 50% of the total seats in the council with PR, only 4 candidates from the regional list will be chosen and the number of those elected in provincial constituencies will be 36. If the winning coalition receives less than 40% of votes, special seats are added to the council to ensure a large majority for the President's coalition. The council is elected for a five-year term, but, if the President suffers a vote of no confidence, resigns or dies, under the ''simul stabunt, simul cadent'' clause introduced in 1999 (literally ''they will stand together or they will fall together''), also the council is dissolved and a snap election is called.
