The 2024 Basilicata regional election was held on 21 and 22 April 2024 for all 21 elected seats of the Regional Council of Basilicata and the president of Basilicata, who automatically becomes a member of the council alongside the second-placed candidate. It is the final election in Italy before the 2024 European Parliament election in June 2024 and the third election of the 2024 Italian regional elections cycle (after Sardinia and Abruzzo).
After some negotiations, the centre-right coalition confirmed Vito Bardi, the incumbent president. Bardi is supported by Brothers of Italy, the League, Forza Italia–Us Moderates, the Union of the Centre–Christian Democracy, Action, and the civic lists Lucanian Pride, which includes members of Italia Viva, and True Basilicata. The centre-left coalition chose the province of Matera president Piero Marrese after long negotiations and two other candidates having withdrawn. In support of Marraese are the Democratic Party, the Five Star Movement, the Greens and Left Alliance, the Italian Socialist Party, Possible Basilicata, More Europe, Democratic Centre, and the civic lists Common House Basilicata and United Basilicata.
Other presidential candidates initially included Angelo Chiorazzo for the Common House Basilicata civic list and Pasquale Tucciariello for the Popular Area civi list. Chiorazzo had announced his independent candidacy in December 2023, then months later withdrawn it for a common candidate (Domenico Lacerenza) within the centre-left coalition and re-announced his candidacy when that failed and Lacerenza renounced, before returning to the centre-left coalition and endorsing Marrese, all in March 2023. Tucciariello also withdrew his candidacy in March 2023. Eustacchio Follia for Volt Italy was the sole other candidate remaining besides Bardi and Marrese.
