The electoral campaign for the September parliamentary elections officially began today, August 29, 2025. The Electoral Code defines the campaign as the period when electoral competitors carry out activities to persuade voters to cast their ballots.
Electoral legislation prohibits candidates from using administrative resources. They cannot launch or take part in inaugurating infrastructure projects or purchases financed from the national public budget, nor can they use public equipment, property, or goods. Public authorities and institutions must not grant electoral competitors public assets or other advantages except under contracts that ensure equal conditions.
The law also bans organizing concerts, contests, demonstrations, or other events involving performers, creative, or artistic staff from Moldova or abroad. Competitors cannot display slogans, distribute materials with electoral symbols, or use other identifying elements during such events. They also cannot attend these events for political promotion purposes.

“Electoral competitors may organize meetings with voters, and authorities must guarantee equal conditions for holding these meetings,” the electoral authority stated.
The Central Electoral Commission (CEC) also reminded participants that the law bans political advertising during the electoral campaign. Only electoral advertising by candidates registered with the CEC is permitted. The CEC urged all competitors to conduct their campaigns in strict compliance with electoral legislation.
To organize and conduct this autumn’s parliamentary elections, authorities set up 2,274 polling stations across Moldova and abroad. Of these, 1,961 will operate in electoral districts inside the country, 12 will serve voters in localities on the left bank of the Dniester, and 301 will serve citizens with voting rights who will be abroad on election day.
