The electoral system modification is a right action of Moldovan Parliament.

The statement was made by the Prime Minister of Romania, Mihai Tudose, on a visit to Chisinau, after yesterday approval of the mixed voting system made by Moldovan Deputies. 

"Romania has gone through such a thing, the distortion of reality. Romania changed the voting system a few times, and then things were quiet because it was proved that everything served the purpose of democracy continuance", said Tudose.

According to Parliament, the mixed voting system will be applied in 2018.

The draft on mixed voting system says the uninominal constituencies to be established by a special commission of the Government. They will be approved by the Executive one year before parliamentary elections and will have no more than 65 thousand voters. Some participants in the debates have been against the abroad constitution of these electoral subdivisions.

The document also refers to voters in the Transnistrian region.

The project establishes that any candidate will have to submit an integrity certificate stating his/her wealth and income over the past two years.

The document also provides for reduction for electoral blocks from 11 to 8 percent. The threshold for parties remains unchanged - six per cent, which has raised the criticisms of some participants in the debates. Gender equality in parties are highly promoted.

The largest survey conducted in Moldova shows that about 60 per cent of Moldovans believe that MPs should be elected in term of uninominal or mixed voting system. Only 35 per cent have voted to maintain the current electoral system.
