The decision was taken in the wake of cyber-security incidents targeting the state’s digital public services, in order to prevent any potential risks relating to voter identification.

Consequently, on polling day, citizens will be required to present physical identity documents at polling stations.

The CEC states that it will continue to work with the e-Government Agency to enable the use of digital identification in future elections, once the security checks have been completed.

UPDATE 18:00

Furthermore, following cybersecurity incidents and identified risks related to electronic authentication, the CEC has temporarily suspended the operation of the “Electoral Complaints” online module. This is a preventive measure intended to protect personal data and the security of information systems. Until the technical issues are resolved, complaints may be submitted via email to [email protected] or in person at the CEC headquarters, located at 119 Vasile Alecsandri Street.
