The Central Electoral Commission (CEC) will send 64,941 ballot papers to Moldova’s diplomatic missions abroad for the 29 July snap parliamentary election, according to a CEC decision approved on 21 July. The decision meets the missions’ requests although the number of officially registered voters in the data bases of embassies and consular offices stands at 17,500.<\/p>\n

CEC secretary Iurie Ciocan explained the high number of ballot papers by the aspiration "to avoid instances of speculation and secure the right to vote for those who are not included in the rolls". Thus, the two polling stations in Italy, in Bologna and Rome, will receive 5,000 ballot papers each, although in line with legislation only 3,000 voters can cast their ballots at one polling station.<\/p>\n

"At the 5 April parliamentary election, 3,388 civilians voted in Bologna without queues or incidents, and had others come to the polling station there, they could have managed to vote too," Ciocan said. Moldova’s embassy and consular office in Romania will receive 5,000 and 3,000 ballot papers respectively.<\/p>\n

Infotag note: As many as 33 polling stations will be opened abroad for the 29 July election just like on 5 April, when the CEC sent 63,000 ballot papers to Moldova’s diplomatic missions. As many as 16,800 Moldovans participated in the 5 April polls. According to unofficial data, there are from 500,000 to 800,000 Moldovans working abroad.<\/p>\n

The CEC said that the parties running for parliament have spent 9.7m lei (about 865,000 dollars) so far. The Democratic Party spent the most with 3.1m lei, followed by the ruling Communist Party with 2.2m lei. Next come the opposition Our Moldova Alliance with 2m lei and the Liberal Democratic Party with over 1m lei. The other parties spent less than 1m lei. The CEC also allowed several non-governmental organizations to hold exit-polls on 29 July.
