CEC warns voters about fake contact details for electoral information hotline
The Central Electoral Commission (CEC) is warning voters about a misleading announcement circulating on several Telegram channels, which contains fake phone numbers and website addresses presented as official contacts for voters in the Autonomous Territorial Unit of Gagauzia. The CEC urges voters to get information directly from official electoral authorities, verify announcements before sharing them, and stay vigilant about information circulating during the electoral period.
The correct number for the voter information hotline is (+373) 22 880101, as announced by the CEC for the regional elections on Sunday, November 15.
Voters may request information and clarifications regarding the organization and conduct of the voting process for the elections of deputies to the People's Assembly of Gagauzia and for the position of Governor (Bashkan) of Gagauzia.
The hotline will be operational on Saturday, November 14, from 09:00 to 17:00, and on Sunday, November 15, from 07:00 to 21:00.
Residents of Gagauzia are called to the polls on Sunday, November 15, to elect deputies to the People's Assembly and the Bashkan (Governor).
According to the Electoral Code, citizens with a registered permanent or temporary residence in Gagauzia have the right to vote, provided they established that residence at least three months before the first round of voting.
Voters will be able to cast their ballots at 67 polling stations. In total, nearly 260,000 ballot papers will be printed, divided equally between the two elections. Of these, over 8,000 will be in Romanian, more than 100,000 in Russian, and over 20,000 in Gagauz.
The election for deputies to the People's Assembly will be the last one held under a single-member constituency system. Each of the 35 electoral districts will elect one deputy, ensuring that every locality has at least one representative in the region's legislative body.
