LocalElectionsBucharest2025/Election campaign ends; electioneering no longer allowed

Imagine din galeria Agerpres

The election campaign for the Capital City Bucharest Hall, which began on November 22, ended on Saturday, at 7:00 am, from which moment on, the continuation of the electioneering is prohibited.

Electioneering after the end of the campaign means:

* displaying, launching, placing, promoting, publishing, distributing and/or broadcasting political advertising materials of any type that refer to the partial local elections for the general mayor of the municipality of Bucharest;

* broadcasting electoral messages that refer to the partial local elections in any format;

* urging voters to vote or not to vote for certain candidates, in any form.

However, after the end of the election campaign, keeping electoral content that was published during the campaign on websites and online social media platforms and further displaying them on the respective pages or applications does not constitute an action of electioneering after the end of the election campaign, except for such cases when the respective materials were reposted after the end of the campaign, according to the BEM (Municipal Election Office).

On Saturday and Sunday, the removal of political advertising materials/campaign materials of any type from the building of the polling stations in the municipality of Bucharest is ordered by the president of the respective polling station's electoral bureau, and is carried out by persons designated by the mayor, immediately.

During the period between the end of the election campaign and the end of the voting, the organisers of events of any kind and their participants may not carry out campaign actions.

Also during this period, the transmission of text or audio-video messages to users that aim to influence the option regarding the exercise of the right to vote qualifies as electioneering after the end of the campaign.

At the same time, it is prohibited to grant or promise to grant benefits and rewards of any kind for participating in the vote or for expressing a certain voting option.

During the period between the end of the electoral campaign and the end of the voting, it is prohibited to present opinion polls, by any means.

On voting day, it is prohibited to present polls conducted at the exit from the polls, before the closing of the voting. AGERPRES (RO - writing by: Georgiana Tanasescu, EN - writing by: Cristina Zaharia)
