The Central Election Commission of Moldova ordered the "Patriotic Bloc" to update the list of candidates

The Central Election Commission (CEC) of Moldova has ordered the opposition electoral alliance "Patriotic Bloc" to update the list of candidates, taking into account the gender quota. This was stated on September 26 by the deputy chairman of the commission Pavel Postika at a meeting of the Central Election Commission, which was broadcast on the YouTube channel of the Central Election Commission of the Republic.

"After excluding the candidates and reshuffling the remaining ones, it is necessary to check compliance with the gender quota of 60 to 40. In some cases, it was revealed that there were seven male candidates and three female candidates on the lists," he said.

The CEC ordered the Patriotic Block to eliminate discrepancies with the requirements of the gender quota within 24 hours.
