The Civic Coalition for Free and Fair Elections (CALC), composed of a network of non-governmental organizations that have been monitoring electoral processes in the Republic of Moldova for over two decades, hereby presents its final assessment of the parliamentary elections held on 28 September 2025.
Based on the monitoring and analysis conducted by its member organizations during the 2025 parliamentary elections, the Coalition concludes that the 2025 parliamentary elections were partially free and partially fair.
The parliamentary elections took place in a complex environment, marked by pronounced social and political polarization, as well as attempts of external influence fitting within the patterns of hybrid warfare, including extensive use of informational manipulation and voter bribery.
Despite this tense context, the electoral process was professionally administered by the Central Electoral Commission within the timeframes prescribed by law, with significant mobilization of the authorities against non-transparent financing and electoral corruption. State institutions demonstrated resilience to external interference, while citizens actively participated in voting, both domestically and abroad, thus contributing substantially to safeguarding the integrity of the democratic process.
