1996 Italian general election in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol

The 1996 Italian general election took place on 21 April 1996. In Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, 17 seats were up for election: 10 for the Chamber of Deputies and 7 for the Senate of the Republic.

The South Tyrolean People's Party ran their own candidates as part of the "The Fir" alliance with their sister party Trentino Tyrolean Autonomist Party (PATT) except for Bolzano constituency. In the proportional vote, they opted to join the Populars for Prodi of their longtime ally Italian People's Party which was part of The Olive Tree coalition.[1] The list heavily underperformed with 27.4% in South Tyrol, far below their usual majority of the popular vote while the separatist Union for South Tyrol won 19%. Only in the 2008 provincial and general elections, SVP would fall below 50% and is their worst result ever as of 2024. The SVP would nevertheless stay in the centre-left coalition but also submit their own lists.[2] Meanwhile, Italian Renewal reached one of their best results in the region.
