The votes cast in the June 5 elections for the Chisinau Municipal Council (CMC) will be recounted today, June 30, starting 9:00am, in all 300 polling stations in the municipality. Chisinau Election Council chairman Iulian Balan has told Info-Prim Neo that the results will be announced on Friday.
The vote recount is done at the request of the Liberal Party. On Wednesday the Supreme Court rejected an appeal by the Communist Party.
The recount will cost over 1 million lei, the Chisinau Election Council said.
According to official results, in the June 5 elections the Communist Party polled 46.11% of the vote, which translates into 26 councilor's seats in the 51-member CMC; the Liberal Party 31.82%, or 17 seats; the Liberal-Democratic Party 13.99%, or 7 seats; and the Democratic Party 3.13%, or one seat. The Liberal Party, citing counting errors, hopes the recount will produce one more seat for the Alliance parties.
