Romania's 2024 elections: The presidential candidates

Fourteen candidates are on the ballot in the first round of this year's presidential elections, scheduled to take place on November 24. Here is a list of those in the race.

Just as it happened in the 2019 elections, more than ten candidates are trying to convince the public they are the best choice for president. Four of the candidates are independents, although some have a history of affiliation with other parties, and another four are supported by parties not represented in the current Parliament. If none of the candidates manages to win 50%+1 of the votes – a scenario that has been consistently repeated since 1992 – a second round is scheduled for December 8. The voters will be asked to decide between the two candidates that gathered most of the votes.
