elezione

While both relate to choosing, 'elezione' specifically refers to the act of voting to choose someone for a position, like in a political election. 'Scelta' is a more general term for any kind of choice or decision, like choosing what to eat. So, you 'make a scelta' to 'go to an elezione'.

No, 'elezione' is pretty much reserved for choosing people by vote, usually for official roles or positions. If you're choosing an object or an abstract concept, you'd use 'scelta' or another verb like 'scegliere' (to choose).

The plural form of 'elezione' is 'elezioni'. It follows the standard feminine noun pluralization rule where '-e' becomes '-i'.

Not always politics, but it's always about voting for a person to fill a role. It could be for a school representative, a club president, or even a manager in a company, as long as it involves a voting process.

You can say 'giorno delle elezioni' or simply 'le elezioni' in a context where it's clear you're referring to the day itself. For example, 'Oggi è il giorno delle elezioni' (Today is election day).

No, if there's no voting involved, 'elezione' isn't the right word. For a job selection process without voting, you'd use terms like 'selezione del personale' (staff selection) or 'processo di selezione' (selection process).

A very common phrase is 'le elezioni politiche' (political elections) or 'elezioni presidenziali' (presidential elections). You'll also hear 'vincere le elezioni' (to win the elections) or 'perdere le elezioni' (to lose the elections).

While its primary meaning is about voting, in a very formal or archaic context, it could refer to a choice or selection of a person for a specific purpose, but this is rare in modern everyday Italian. Stick to the 'voting' meaning.

The verb form is 'eleggere' (to elect). For example, 'Vogliamo eleggere un nuovo presidente' (We want to elect a new president).

You would say 'i risultati delle elezioni'. For example, 'Stiamo aspettando i risultati delle elezioni' (We are waiting for the election results).
