PUBLIKA.MD notes that today Moldova choose again. People are called to decide their future for the next four years. Polling stations will close at 21:00, and this means that the citizens still have a few hours until the polling stations are closed.
If, close to 21:00, when polling stations are closed, there are several voters inside the office who have failed to express their voting option, electoral officials decide whether to extend the period.
PUBLIKA.MD mentions that, for the first time, the elections take place on the basis of the mixed voting system. This means that 50 parliamentarians are elected as in the previous elections, on party lists, and 51 - in uninominal constituencies. The distribution of the 50 deputy mandates in the national constituency will be made only for the competitors who have exceeded the electoral threshold: 6% for the parties and 8% for the electoral blocks.
