Over 3.2 million citizens with voting rights in the Republic of Moldova are expected to participate in the second round of elections for the post of president of the country on Sunday. The polls opened at 7:00 am and will close at 9:00 pm. The interest of the citizens of the Republic of Moldova in these elections has increased compared to that shown in the first round. Kilometers were formed in polling stations in different countries and consulates referred voters to other polling stations to have time to exercise their right to vote.

The Milan consulate asked citizens lined up to vote in Parma, Mestre, Milan, Verona and Bologna to go to one of the nearby polling stations to express their choice. Huge lines had formed in those sections since the early hours, since the urns opened.

A similar request was made by the Consulate General of the Republic of Moldova in Frankfurt, which announced that, until 10:00 am, at the polling station 1/349 in Frankfurt am Main, 1,554 voters had voted, writes unimedia. info. The consulate sent them to citizens who were waiting in line to go to the polling stations in other cities such as Stuttgart, Kassel, Strasbourg, because there is a risk that there are not enough ballots for everyone.

The Moldovan citizens of Paris and Prague also voted in large numbers. Voters line up from 07:00 in the morning.
