The electoral system of Moldova

The 101 seats in the Parliament are to be elected according to a new mixed system introduced in 2017; 50 lawmakers will be elected on party lists and the remaining 51 in individual constituencies. The electoral threshold varies depending on the type of list; for alliances of three or more parties it is 11%, for alliances of two parties it is 9%, for single parties or organizations it is 6%, and for independent candidates, it is 2%. Turnout must be at least 33% to make the election valid. There is still controversy against the new election system and a referendum in 2018 against it was considered possible. New controversies came up and demonstrations started after the June 3 mayoral elections in Chișinău were invalidated because of Facebook posts of the candidates on election day. The mayoral election had been won by Andrei Năstase, a candidate in opposition to governmental PDM and presidential PSRM parties.
