A less pleasant incident occurred this morning on the bridge in Sănătăuca village of Florești district. Someone threw sharp metal tools on the road and a number of police and ANTA cars had their tires damaged, the deputy head of the General Police Inspectorate Marin Maxian said, noting this is an act of cynicism and immorality and the police condemn such behaviors.

In another case examined by the police, the gate of the head of the polling station in Gotești village of Cantemir district and of the mayor were painted black.

Another incident was reported in Orhei, where a polling station opened at 7:25pm owing to a technical fault in the camera. In Lozova, Strășeni, a computer fault was experienced, but this was remedied shortly.

A number of observers, reporters and MPs are monitoring the situation in the Security Zone and there were reported no incidents so far. Marin Maxian said some of the media outlets misinform when they say that voters from the Transnistrian region are brought to polling places in an organized way or money is offered to them for voting.

As of November 4, over 600 police officers had maintained public order at 94 electoral events with about 11,000 participants. In the period, there were identified six cases of unauthorized placing of electoral posters. In eight cases, the public health restrictions at campaign events were violated, posters were damaged or denigrating materials were distributed.

On November 14, the police received 14 reports of violation of public health rules and electioneering. There was also reported an instance of reasonable suspicion of voter corruption.
