Snap municipal elections were held in Rome on 5 and 19 June 2016 to elect the mayor of Rome and 48 members of the City Council of Rome, as well as the fifteen presidents and more than 400 councillors of the 15 municipi in which the municipality is divided. The elections were called following the fall of the former mayor of Rome Ignazio Marino, who was elected with the Democratic Party (PD) in 2013 but was ousted from office after more than half of the members of the City Council resigned in October 2015.
The first round of voting on 5 June produced no outright winner, resulting in a run-off election on 19 June between the Five Star Movement (M5S) candidate Virginia Raggi and the centre-left coalition and PD candidate Roberto Giachetti. Raggi won the mayoral election with two-thirds of the vote, and her party alone won a majority in the City Council, with 29 of the 48 seats. The results were widely reported as a major breakthrough for the M5S, which had previously been seen as a protest party rather than a significant political force. At the same round of elections, the M5S also won the mayoralty of Turin.
