Final agreement over uninominal voting: fake electoral threshold of 5 percent
Negotiations on the introduction of a uninominal voting system have been taking place for months.
The commission discussing the electoral code reported only one vote against the PNL-UDMR proposal. UDMR, which analysts say is facing trouble with maintaining their traditional 6-7% share of the votes, has also pressed for lowering the electoral threshold from 5 to 3%, but the idea was rejected by other parites.
A compromise formula leaves the possibility for a party to enter Parliament without reaching the necessary thresshold if that party manages to have six candidates on top of the lists in House colleges and three top candidates in Senate colleges.
