Summary/Abstract: The events of December 1989 have removed the power structures of the dictatorial regime and, naturally, all the constitutional and electoral dispositions issued by that regime. This change imposed the necessity to the juridical regulation of the new state organisms, of the conditions for the political parties’ organising and functioning, and of the rules for organising and conducting the presidential, parliamentary or local elections. Starting with the first communique of the Frontul Salvării Naţionale (National Salvation Front), continuing with the transitional constitutional acts of 1989, the electoral law of 1990, until the Constitution of 1991, then with the law on local elections from the same year, and the electoral laws from 1992, for the election of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, respectively, for the election of the State President, all these undertakings contributed to the effort to legislate the new political realities in post-communist Romania.
