For this important electoral process, the International Foundation for Electoral Systems answers Frequently Asked Questions on Elections in the Republic of Moldova: 2025 Parliamentary Election.

Why are these elections important?

Moldova’s parliamentary elections are crucial because they will determine whether the country remains firmly on its European integration track or is pulled back toward Russian influence. The outcome will decide who forms the next government, either reinforcing President Maia Sandu’s pro-EU, pro-reform Action and Solidarity Party or empowering a more Russia-aligned coalition. These elections come amid heightened concerns over Russian interference. Learn More

What is the governmental and electoral system?

Moldova uses a closed-list, proportional representation system within a single nationwide constituency. Voters cast ballots for party lists, not individual candidates, and seats are allocated based on each list’s share of the vote across the country. Learn More
