“One third of the Election Code is likely to be changed. We should pay much attention to the Resolution of the European Parliament about ensuring the right to vote for the Moldovan citizens abroad,” opines Eugeniu Stirbu, the chairman of the Central Election Commission (CEC). The statement was made on June 5, at consultation the CEC held with potential electoral contestants about holding the snap elections in Moldova, Info-Prim Neo reports. The biggest problem remarked by the CEC and the contestants is the contradiction between those 45 days provided by the law to hold the early elections and the term of 60 days provided to set up the electoral bodies in the country. The CEC proposes to modify the Election Code. “We mean procedures related to voters’ lists, access to the voting of the migrant Moldovans and other issues noticed by electoral competitors and international observers,” said CEC secretary Iurie Ciocan. If the present parliament fails to consider these proposals, Ciocan assures that “there is no place for frauds.” “I think it’s important that the CEC started to ponder over solving the problems of the citizens abroad. Such discussions are necessary if we want to have fair elections and that there should be no question marks related to the quality of these elections,” said Vlad Filat, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party (PLDM). Corina Fusu, the deputy president of the Liberal Party (PL) opines the discussion with the CEC was necessary not to repeat the frauds in the April 5 elections, not to waste in vain several dozens of millions of lei. “First, we shall seriously verify the electoral lists. Although we all agree that the Election Code must be modified, everything depends on Vladimir Voronin’s consciousness, if he really want improvements for the early elections. He should not dissolve the parliament too quickly,” she said. Sergiu Sarbu, the representative of the Communist Party (PCRM) at the CEC, is unhappy that “some parties go on accusing alleged frauds in the April 5 elections, bringing no evidence.” “I want to reiterate that the April 5 elections were the fairest and the most democratic elections in Moldova’s history, what was confirmed by international observers and the Constitutional Court.” He added “the PCRM will unfold a fair race, as before.” The snap elections in Moldova were triggered by the parliament’s failing to elect a head of the state.
