The appeal from Communists Vladimir Voronin and Diana Caraman to the Constitutional Court has been declared inadmissible. The two requested that the judges, on an urgent basis, review the legality of setting the election date and the provision in the Electoral Code, which states that the date of the presidential election should be set “no more than 90 days before the expiration of the president’s term.”
The regulation that the Communists referred to states that the date of the presidential election should be set “no more than 90 days before the expiration of the president’s term.” They argued that this provision violates the Constitution, which requires that “within two months of a vacancy occurring in the office of President of the Republic of Moldova, the authorities must organize elections for a new president by the law.”
On the other hand, the judges of the Constitutional Court found that a vacancy in the presidency occurs only in cases of death, inability to perform duties, resignation, or dismissal, but not due to the expiration of the term.
