Vasile Tarlev, the president of the Centrist Union of Moldova (UCM), said that he voted for a better future. Accompanied by his wife, the former Prime Minister voted at around 12.00. In excitement, the members of the electoral office lost the electoral lists that included Vasile Tarlev and his wife, but found them quickly, Info-Prim Neo reports. Vasile Tarlev inquired whether the voter turnout was higher than at the previous elections, saying that he gave his vote for a better future. “We want better living conditions, that the fundamental human rights are observed and that our country is democratic, transparent and prosperous,” Tarlev said. The UCM president expressed concern about possible riggings. “We are concerned that the elections could be rigged because the number of voters is larger than in the 2005 elections and no person that died was struck off the register of the Ministry of Information Development since November,” Vasile Tarlev also said. “The military men can vote two times with the soldier’s record: in the military unit and at the poling place set up at their place of residence.” “If the elections are not fair and we will have arguments, the UCM will take all the steps possible to uphold the human rights and the honor of our country,” the former Prime Minister said.
