Italian Elections and Politics 2018: Yellow Tide

[Hash]

Could anyone explain how the top 2 runoff would work? What would happen to coalitions/parties which did not place in the top 2 but won over the threshold for seats? Would some seats be attributed to them in the first round, kind of how the party list elections work in regional/mayoral elections?

With 0.1% reporting, Chiamparino at 50%.

Where are the Abruzzo results? I can't find them on the Interno website.

Abruzzo is reporting its results on its own separate website. There's a link to it from the main electoral portal page on the Ministry's website.

If anybody's curious, I've published my analysis of the EP election in Italy and I have included a lot of stats about vote flows and voter demographics which may be of interest to some people here.

Not sure why Torino is surprising. Past local elections, admittedly in smaller provincial capitals and sometimes in different political configurations, have shown that the M5S can easily win runoffs even when they're way behind the centre-left in the first round since they have really strong transfers from the centre-right, far-left/left and just about everybody else.
