Election polls are not predictions; they are snapshots subject to statistical fluctuations. To provide a realistic picture, we daily simulate 100,000 election outcomes based on the PolitPro Election Trend using the 'Monte Carlo method'. In doing so, we factor in typical voter migration patterns and political trends. Our algorithm tests various scenarios – from minor shifts within political camps to unexpected political developments – to determine the true chances of success for parties and coalitions.
According to CBS Research, 4 parties are projected to surpass the electoral threshold and enter Moldova's parliament: PAS with 55 representatives, BEP with 25 representatives, PN with 14 representatives and Blocul Alternativa with 7 representatives.
The Parliament of the Republic of Moldova comprises 101 deputies, elected for a four-year term. Since the 2022 electoral code reform, the entire Parliament is now elected via pure proportional representation within a single nationwide constituency. Voters cast their ballots for closed party lists. This system replaced a short-lived mixed-member proportional system, aiming to bolster political stability and diminish the influence of local oligarchic structures in single-member districts. Seat allocation directly reflects parties' nationwide vote share.
Moldova's parliamentary elections feature tiered electoral thresholds designed to prevent legislative fragmentation. Individual political parties must secure 5% of the nationwide valid votes to enter Parliament. For electoral blocs (alliances) comprising two or more parties, the threshold rises to 7%. Independent candidates can also compete, facing a reduced 2% threshold. Votes cast for parties failing to clear these hurdles are not factored into seat distribution, a mechanism intended to foster stable parliamentary majorities.
Government formation in Moldova adheres to parliamentary principles. Following elections and the Parliament's constitution, the President of the Republic, after consultations with parliamentary factions, nominates a candidate for Prime Minister. This nominee must secure parliamentary confidence for their cabinet and government program within 15 days. Given Moldova's frequent division between pro-European and pro-Russian forces, coalition negotiations often hinge on geopolitical alignment. A single-party government remains possible if one faction commands an absolute majority of the 101 seats.
