Summary/Abstract: The present study aims to analyse how the 1926 elections were presented by the periodicals, both political and independent ones. The political and legislative framework in which the voters were consulted was significant for the interwar period, being for the first time when all the citizens of Great Romania voted on the same normative act. Our approach follows the way in which the press presented the unfolding of the event, from the announcement of the government’s “crisis”, the appointment of General Alexandru Averescu as President of the Council of Ministers, the presentation of electoral alliances, the evolution of the electoral campaign but also the reaction when finding out the results.The research was based on the analysis of the newspapers that appeared in 1926, such as the political ones, but also on the independent press. From the desire to compare the information transmitted by the press, I studied archived sources and specialized literature.
