	Observation of the parliamentary elections in Moldova (6 March 2005)
		The elections took place in a context of increasing polarisation between the government and opposition parties, the latter, with clear reference to the recent events in Georgia and Ukraine, repeatedly announced their intention not to recognise the outcome of the elections and to organise protests and campaigns of civil disobedience.
		The election campaign, mainly of opposition parties, was further hindered by the failure of local public authorities to provide sufficient campaign opportunities or, worse, by interference in, and obstruction of, the election campaigns of parties not belonging to the local majority by local officials.
		The election law stipulates that the ballot has to be stamped by a member of the PSEB after the voter has made his or her choice but before the ballot is put in the ballot box.

		The second round of elections, held on March 10, 1990, filled the bulk of positions in the republic's Supreme Soviet and had a decisive impact on the country's political life.

	Moldovan Local Elections - Welcome Moldova Magazine
		OSCE teams visited a quarter of Moldova’s polling stations and came away with a good impression of most of them, despite having a couple of hundred relatively minor violations to report.
		In fairness, we were impressed by the seriousness with which the election officials in every village we visited took their work.
		This is the exact opposite of the situation in Britain, where local elections are seen as a popularity poll for the national party leaders and where hardly anybody can name their local councillor.

		Moldova, which fought a short war with Transdniester in 1992, has also called on the international community to ignore the vote.

	Elections in Moldova
		Moldova is a small landlocked country, the poorest in Europe, whose importance to the EU will rise as our frontiers will border it by 2007.
		President Voronin, whom I met a year ago, in spite of being a Communist and ethnically Russian, is committed to EU and NATO approximation for his country after a row with President Putin, who failed to withdraw Russian troops by 2002 from Transnistria, as agreed.
		I have no doubt that the parliamentary elections on 6 March, although far from perfect in terms of media bias in the run-up and the monopoly of administrative resources, will not be subject to the kind of fraud seen under Prime Minister Yanukovych in neighbouring Ukraine, which sparked off the famous Orange Revolution.

	About elections in Moldova and abroad
		The constitutional right to vote was also respected during the elections for President of Russia on March 14th, 2004 for the 80 000 Russian Federation citizens living in Moldova.
		In this context we make an appeal to the authorities of the Republic of Moldova to guarantee the right to vote to all citizens of our country, including those who live abroad, and especially to the more than 100 000 citizens of the Republic of Moldova from the transnistrian region.
		We consider that the announce of the date of the elections should have been made at least some weeks earlier in order to allow normal registration of the electoral contestants and natural conduct of the start of the electoral campaign.
