Overview
- Polling runs 07:00–21:00 local time for 101 seats, with 1,973 stations inside the country and 12 for residents from the Transnistrian region.
- Authorities expanded overseas voting to 301 locations but kept only two stations in Russia, both in Moscow at the Moldovan embassy complex.
- Eyewitness posts reported unusually full ballot boxes at some European sites and social‑media footage from Verona suggested repeat queuing by the same people, claims not independently verified.
- Courts restricted the Heart of Moldova party for 12 months and the CEC barred it from the Patriotic Block’s list days before the vote, prompting opposition complaints of unfair rules.
- Moldova denied accreditation to Russian observers as officials tallied more than 3,400 observers overall, including 912 international, while opposition figures accused authorities of stoking fear over alleged Russian interference.
