A radiography of the local elections of June 9, 2024. Between electoral stakes, political speeches and legislative loopholes

Summary/Abstract: Elections are the moments when the people express their will regarding the future decision-makers. The framework in which they must take place must be based on principles such as equal opportunities, transparency, fairness, and periodicity. From the way in which all these principles are valued, we can talk about the correct manifestation of electoral options and the consistency of the exercise of citizens' political rights. Elections are at the heart of democracy and the rule of law. Their result influences the way a community or a country shapes its democratic and developmental course. For Romania, the year 2024 is the year in which citizens are called to the ballot box to elect all their representatives, from the mayor to councilors, parliamentarians, or MEPs. The first democratic exam was on 9 June 2024. The government's option was to combine the local elections with the European ones. Was it a viable solution? Did this decision satisfy the electorate's choices? Has the legislative framework managed to provide voters with all the conditions for the full exercise of political rights? These are just some of the questions we will answer in our study.
