The voting process is taking place in a normal way, without significant incidents or incidents that can influence the conduct of elections, the president of the Central Election Commission Angelica Caraman stated in a press briefing.
The official said the automated information system “Elections” works appropriately. There were several incidents in the morning when the operators met with difficulties in connecting to the Internet, but the problems were solved and there were no faults in the system, as it was rumored.
The police in the first half of the day reported 23 incidents. Seven were cases of campaigning. Three were cases of photographing of the ballot and a report was compiled over one such case, while two cases are being examined. In two cases, there is a reasonable suspicion of voter corruption. Five cases were cases of transportation of voters, while six were cases referring to other issues.
Angelica Caraman noted that on November 18, the Supreme Court of Justice partially admitted the appeals filed by the Party of Development and Consolidation of Moldova and obliged the CEC to take decisions to recount the votes for mayor in two localities. The CEC will provide details later. Also, the Chisinau Appeals Court is examining the Chance Party’s appeal concerning the invalidation of elections and of the seats of those elected in the constituencies of Căușeni and Rezina. Details will be given immediately after the court passes its judgment.
