It was an honor for me to work in a dedicated and professional team,\u201d said the former vice-president of the Central Electoral Commission.<\/p>\n<p>Rodica Ciubotaru was appointed a CEC member in June 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Iurie Ciocan relinquished his CEC membership at the end of last week and on Tuesday CEC president Alina Russu quit her job too. Iurie Ciocan explained that previously a CEC member could only be removed by courts. Now, under a recent amendment, CEC members can be revoked by Parliament.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"related_pages_keyphrase\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The vice-president of the Central Electoral Commission Rodica Ciubotaru has announced she is quitting in protest at \u201cthe latest attempts to modify the electoral legislation,\u201d which she says \u201ccompromises the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":599914,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[137],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-601024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
