Blaga announced that electoral incidents could be signalled by calling 112, where specialised persons in taking such calls have been appointed so as not to affect the capability to manage the urgent calls. As many as 22,010,129 ballot papers have been printed for Romania’s 18,317,925 voters and 21,706 polling stations are being set up – of these 18,053 are permanent, 3,359 are special polling stations of which 71 are set up in hospitals and 294 are arranged for the Romanians outside the country’s borders.
Some 600,000 ballot papers have been prepared for the polling stations based abroad, Blaga announced. ‘The number of the ballot papers for the permanent polling stations has been established according to the law, namely the number of the voters on the rolls plus 10 percent, while for the special polling stations the number of the ballot papers is based on the number of the voters on the additional rolls in the 2004 presidential elections, when according to the National Institute of Statistics, 1,200,000 citizens voted on such special voter rolls’, the minister explained.
As many as 18,162,757 stickers have been made, according to the number of voters who have identity cards, to be applied on the ID after they exercise their voting right, he added. The interior minister said that special measures had been taken for Nov. 22 in order to prevent electoral fraud; the Romanian Police in cooperation with the Romanian Traffic Authority will organise common controlling squads in the areas where incidents are likely to occur as well as in the area of the checkpoints.
Starting 7 a.m. on Sunday till midnight there will be hourly reports released to the media on the electoral incidents and the measures taken, Blaga said. The press will have access to all the operational management centres set up nationwide, in order to broadcast images and news of the voting conduct, he announced.
