Instead, the president comes with some proposals which, according to him, are "essential changes, even necessary, without changing the foundation of the current electoral system." Thus, Dodon proposes to open more polling stations abroad, especially in the Russian Federation, but also more active involvement of citizens in Transnistrian region.

"To open polling stations in Transnistrian region, to allow people there to run in the Moldovan Parliament. Without the involvement of citizens in Transnistrian region, our Parliament can not be honest. And if we want the entire the country, we should be more open and political, electoral" , wrote Igor Dodon.
