Position Paper on Options for Improving Postal Voting after the Parliamentary Elections of 28 September 2025
Automatically translated summary. The full text is available in Romanian.
The Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup” has published a new position paper under the project “Civil Society for European Integration”. It examines options for improving postal voting in the Republic of Moldova following the parliamentary elections of 28 September 2025, and sets out recommendations for the authorities.
Postal voting was used in Moldova for a second consecutive national ballot as an additional way to exercise the right to vote. It is meant to address long distances to polling stations, travel costs, mobility difficulties and sanitary or security obstacles.
The paper analyses implementation in terms of the legal framework, security rules for the voting process, and information and promotion activities. It also reviews how the method was used in the presidential election of November 2024 and the parliamentary election of September 2025. Recommendations are addressed to Parliament, the Central Electoral Commission and government institutions, aiming to improve postal voting and extend it on a large scale. The project is funded by the European Union and co-funded by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation.
