At the same time, the vote is declared valid if at least a quarter of the voters registered in the electoral lists show up at the polls, a threshold that was exceeded in the Cosnita commune, where the turnout constituted 30%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The residents of the Cosnita commune in the Dubasari district have spoken out against the use of outlying lands for the exploitation of mineral resources.
