A list of online resources - from the authorities and non-profits - to check before the upcoming elections, with information ranging from the rules governing the electoral campaign to the steps to be followed on the day of the polls.
Think tank Expert Forum (EFOR), which brings together experts in public policies and administration reform, has developed the platform votcorect.ro for the upcoming June 9 elections. The platform, initially launched in 2016, aims to offer the needed information to those interested in the electoral process.
Among the information that users can find on the platform are how a voter can find their polling station; what voters should do if they reside abroad or happen to be traveling the day of the elections; what are the documents needed to be able to vote; and what the procedures to be followed on election days are.
The platform also covers information on how the electoral campaign is funded, the rules on how the campaign should take place, or how citizens can notify legislation violations. It is updated as relevant legislative norms emerge.
Votcorect.ro also has an interactive component as on the day before and the day of elections voters can call and request electoral assistance. The phone numbers, for Romania and calls from abroad, are listed on the platform.
Those interested can also register on the platform as electoral observers. The accreditations are done alongside EFOR’s partners in the VotCorect Coalition, namely Centrul pentru Resurse Civice, Asociația Civica, Centrul pentru Studiul Democrației, Rădăuțiul Civic and Observatorul Electoral. The coalition also collaborates with Code for Romania, which develops the app Monitorizare Vot, helping to collect data on the day of the elections.
Those who want to find out the polling station they can vote at can check the website of the Electoral Register, where they need to insert their personal code number and name.
The Permanent Electoral Authority (AEP) has a platform for Romanian voters abroad, where they can registerto vote in the parliamentary and presidential elections.
The Foreign Affairs Ministry (MAE) has a list of frequently asked questions on voting abroad for the EU Parliament elections and the list of polling stations opened abroad on its website. A guide for those voting abroad in the upcoming elections is available
