The citizens of Moldova are called to the Constitutional Referendum which will be held on September 5. They will have to say FOR or AGAINST modification of the article 78 in the Constitution of the Republic of Moldova, article that proposes to elect the president of the country directly by the citizens, and not by the parliament.

Over one million of Moldovan citizens work abroad. They will have the chance to vote in one out of 79 the voting sections that will be opened in the countries where the biggest communities of Moldovans are. In the United States of America there will be opened four voting sections: in New York City, Washington DC, Sacramento, California, and Hickory, North Carolina.

Moldova is having a Constitutional Referendum after the parliament’s attempt for the second time during one year to elect the president. This did not happen, and the ruling parties asked for a referendum that in their opinion will unblock the situation. If the answer of the referendum is FOR, there will be held presidential elections for the first time in Moldova’s history in November this year.
Moldova’s the current acting president, Mihai Ghimpu, the leader of the Liberal Party, is the leader of the parliament and by the time the president will be elected, he will have the power.
