Examination of electoral contestations

Challenges and disputes that arise during and after elections are inevitable, often leading to the filing of electoral challenges. Electoral appeals are official complaints submitted by candidates, political parties or voters, who claim that electoral rights have been violated or irregularities have occurred in the electoral process. These appeals can concern various aspects of the elections, from the way the vote was organized and conducted, to the counting of votes and the announcement of the results. The examination of electoral appeals is, therefore, a very important element in achieving integrity and transparency in the elections in the Republic of Moldova. This is a key tool for maintaining and strengthening public confidence in the electoral system and for ensuring that election results truly reflect the will of the voters.
