According to Permanent Electoral Authority (AEP), in the first 8 hours of voting across the country, the turnout was over 32%, which means that about 5.8 million voters cast their vote, over one million voters more in the urban environment than in villages. Over 500,000 Romanians have so far voted\u00a0 abroad, where there are 951 polling stations open. They have been able to vote since Friday. Voting in the diaspora during the first two days of the election was rather poor, according to Radio Romania correspondents. The data provided by AEP show that the number of those who cast their vote in the first two days of the election was 223 thousand, of whom over 4,000 opted for the postal vote. The largest mobilization was of the Romanians from Great Britain, with over 42 thousand votes. They are followed by the Romanians from Germany, Italy and Spain. There are 13 candidates in the presidential race, 9 from political parties and 4 independents. Most of the ideological trends are represented in the competition, from social democrats to liberals and from pro-Europeans to populist ultra-nationalists and sovereignists. The second round of the presidential election is scheduled for December 8. On December 1, on the very National Day, the legislative election will take place. We remind you that on June 9, local and European Parliament elections took place in Romania.
