In Romania, the recount of votes has started after the first round of presidential elections. The Bucharest Constitutional Court called for a recount on Thursday, when security officials said the first round of the presidential election was marred by cyber operations conducted on the social media platform TikTok. The electoral body of Romania said that the recount of votes can be completed only by 10 pm on Sunday, November 1.
The chairman of the permanent electoral body, Tony Greble, said on Friday that if The Constitutional Court decides to cancel the first round of presidential elections, elections will resume with all candidates registered in the first round.
If the first round is repeated, in the city, whether the candidate has been confirmed and registered, they are all registered on the ballot, regardless of their applications
Some experts talk about undermining democracy. They note that the recount of votes is not transparent (observers were not allowed to participate), and further turbulence on the political scene may lead to an increase in anti-system nationalists or provoke mass protests in the country.
