Usage Note
Rielezione is feminine (la rielezione) and refers specifically to being elected again to the same post. The plural is regular: le rielezioni. It combines ri- (again) + elezione (election). In Italian constitutional law some offices (e.g. the President of the Republic) cannot seek rielezione after a single seven-year term.
