Romania Govt Decides Elections-Referendum Combo Needs Separate Voter Lists

The government reunited Friday evening to decide new regulations on the permanent electoral lists, the electoral table and the self statement regarding the vote in the referendum for a single-chamber Parliament.

Thus, interim Interior Minister Vasile Blaga explained voters will sign two tables, for the elections and for the referendum, and people who vote in special polling stations, abroad or at mobile urns, will file two self statements, acknowledging this is the one and only time they vote in that specific round of elections.

„Basically, those who attend voting will sign two tables: one for the presidential elections and one for the referendum. If they vote in special polling stations, abroad or on mobile urns, they will file two self statements acknowledging that this is the one and only time they vote in that particular round of elections,” Blaga said.

Blaga went on saying the new measures will increase spending by some RON4 million.
