Moldova's ambassador: Presidential elections, referendum on October 20 - the most important since declaration of independence

October 31, 2024

Authorities in the Republic of Moldova will arrange sixteen polling stations on Romanian territory for the presidential elections and the referendum on the modification of Constitution, both due on October 20.According to a press release of the Embassy of the Republic of Moldova in Bucharest, three of the sixteen polling stations will be located in Bucharest, two of which will be placed at the headquarters of the Permanent Electoral Authority and one at the headquarters of the National Council for Solving Complaints, and also one in Cluj and one in Iasi. Moreover, the Moldovan citizens will be able to express their right to vote by going to the polling stations located in Bacau, Brasov, Constanta, Craiova, Galati, Oradea, Sibiu, Suceava and Timisoara.The polling stations will be opened as of 7.00 am and they will be closed at 9.00 pm. The vote will be expressed based on a valid identity card, or based on either a valid or expired passport.   The presidential elections and the constitutional referendum on October 20 are the most important democratic elections since the declaration of independence of the Republic of Moldova, the Moldovan ambassador in Bucharest, Victor Chirila, said on Tuesday.According to the Moldovan diplomat, the vote on October 20 "will seal the destiny of the Republic of Moldova for the next decades"."The European states have opened the door wide for the accession of the Republic of Moldova to the EU. Now it is our turn to clearly tell our European partners if we want and are ready to cross the threshold of the Union. This is why the vote cast on October 20 will seal our destiny for the next decades, will mark the future of our relations with Romania and the European Union, will decide our independence, security and freedom. Today, the Republic of Moldova has a unique, historic and the last opportunity to be part of the most prosperous and advanced European community, where states are respected not because they are big, but because they are free, democratic, prosperous, tolerant, peaceful and in solidarity. Missing this unique opportunity will be a big failure not for President Maia Sandu, but for the Republic of Moldova, for its dream of truly become a free, independent and prosperous state", stated Victor Chirila.The referendum for amending the Constitution aims to include in the fundamental law, based on the vote of the population, the irreversible European course of the Republic of Moldova. The question addressed to the voters will be "Do you support amending the Constitution with a view to the accession of the Republic of Moldova to the European Union?", and the answers will be "Yes" or "No".  (Photo:https://romania.mfa.gov.md/)
