On November 1, Transnistrian residents will be able to leave the region in order to vote in the presidential elections of the Republic of Moldova. The decision was taken by the Transnistrian Commission for the Management of the COVID-19 Pandemic. “The decision was made at citizens’ request. The Transnistrian side held consultations with the Moldovan side and requested to ensure all quarantine measures at the polling stations located near the border,”<\/em> as the Transnistrian media reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Previously, the Transnistrian leader, Vadim Krasnoselski<\/strong>, proposed the quarantine regime extension for crossing the so-called border until December 1, 2020. Transnistrian authorities claimed that movement restrictions were imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A document<\/a>\u00a0in this regard was published by the Tiraspol management administration.<\/p>\n

Currently, Transnistrian residents are not allowed to leave or enter the region without a special permit issued by the separatist authorities.<\/p>\n

On September 29, the Central Electoral Commission of the Republic of Moldova (CEC)<\/strong> informed<\/a> that a total of 2143 polling stations will be organised for presidential elections, out of which 139 polling stations for citizens of the Republic of Moldova living abroad and 42 polling stations for citizens living in Transnistria.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pre-registration process for the establishment of polling stations abroad and for the voters on the left bank of the Dniester was identified as being a possible source of electoral fraud. Opposition party leaders have issued warnings regarding that, as controlled transport of voters from the region was organised in the 2019 parliamentary elections.<\/p>\n

The European officials are also aware of falsified pre-registration applications<\/a> for establishing polling stations in the Russian Federation and the probable vote-buying schemes that involve Transnistrian residents, calling for the CEC to abide by the rules and ensure a free and fair election campaign for all candidates. “Any manipulation or deviation from democratic standards will result in a strong condemnation and a revision of the EU-Moldova relations,”<\/em> is mentioned in the MEPs note<\/a>.<\/p>\n
