▶It's election day in Romania
Polling stations to close in a few minutes
Voting ends at 9 PM local time, that's also when the first exit polls will be shown and the official count will begin
Only the top 2 candidates qualify to the 2nd round of Elections
▶These are the candidates who are considered to have a realistic shot at finishing top 2 in the first round:
Crin Antonescu, the conservative candidate of the "România Înainte" system coalition, PSD-PNL-UDMR
Nicusor Dan, the independent centre-right candidate backed by USR
USR's own Elena Lasconi, the candidate who reached the second round of the cancelled elections, she has now lost the support of her own party in favor of Dan
AUR's far right extremist George Simion, who has positioned himself as the ideological successor to Călin Georgescu, the winner of the first round of the now cancelled elections who was barred from running.
Independent candidate Victor Ponta, who is making a return in politics after his career has been overshadowed by persistent accusations of corruption
▶The following list of candidates are considered to have only marginal support, with limited chances of succes:
PNCR's Cristian Terheș
PUSL's Lavinia Șandru
Former Minister of Education, independent candidate Daniel Funeriu
Independent candidate John Ion Banu Muscel
PLAN's Silviu Predoiu
PNR's Sebastian Popescu
▶Feel free to post full unaltered clips of the candidates as well as any news you come across, preferably no plebby gay shit such as "he's a sorosist" "he's a nazi" "he's a marxist" bullshit
