Summary/Abstract: The local elections from the 6th and the 20th of June brought and underlined the new tendencies of the Romanian political system. The useful vote, the sanction vote and the protest vote became the electors’ means of pressure over the local elected, but especially over the nationals. The Romanian electors mobilized as expected and reacted first of all at the fear of corruption. Regarding the parties, the new political configuration after the local elections suggest a new structure of the Romanian political system, which could become, if this tendency is confirmed by the parliamentary elections, from a democratic with one dominant party system , a democratic bipolar system. Even more, the recent elections revealed an urban Romania and a rural one, a West Romania and a South – East one, two obvious political categories.
