Moldovan Central Electoral Commission announces silence day ahead of elections in Gagauzia autonomy; electoral campaigning prohibited
The Central Electoral Commission (CEC) today announced a day of silence ahead of the elections in Autonomous Territorial Unite (UTA) of Gagauzia, which will take place on November 15. Electoral campaigning is strictly prohibited and individuals who violate this provision risk fines of up to 7,500 lei.
Contac ted by MOLDPRES, Rodica Sarbu, head of the CEC’s directorate for communication, public relations and mass media, said that during this period, candidates may not participate in television or radio programmes, while local public administrations and advertising broadcasters are required to remove all electoral materials displayed in public spaces. Information already published online is exempt and is not subject to these restrictions.
“Continuing electoral campaigning during the prohibited period, whether by the media, electoral contestants, or citizens, represents an administrative offense. The sanctions provide for fines ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 lei for individuals and from 5,000 to 7,500 lei for legal entities. Electoral contestants are also prohibited from making transfers into or out of accounts bearing the designation ‘Electoral Fund,’” Rodica Sarbu said.
The elections for the position of governor (bashkan) of Gagauzia and for the 35 seats in the autonomy’s People’s Assembly will be held on November 15. The electoral campaign ended on November 13.
