“Deadwood” or “Driftwood”? Voter Turnout in Romania: the Myth of the Vanishing Voter and the Reality of a Disenfranchised Electorate (2010) This paper analyzes the electoral voter participation in Romania. In particular, the author researches the presence of two phenomenons: the "deadwood" (people who have registered, but are no longer eligible because they have moved or died) and the "driftwood" (people who emigrated and are being systematically disenfranchised). In trying to analyze the reasons behind the low voter turnout in Romania, the author argues that the "driftwood" phenomenon is the real problem in the country. Concluding that the constantly decreasing voter turnout is the result of miscalculations and disenfranchisement. Finally, the author concludes with a series of recommendations and possible solutions.

Romania: Case Study on Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment in Public Administration, UNDP (2014)
UNDP: Gender and Elections in Romania (2013) The present case study presents an analysis of gender and the electoral legislation reform process in Romania, focusing on two aspects of the legal framework factor: the effect of the electoral system on women's participation and gender quotas as means of enhancing women's descriptive representation. An important entry point is to acknowledge that low participation and representation of women is a serious issue that impacts Romania's democratization process. On this path towards gender equality in politics, representatives of civil society should be carefully monitoring political actors who may have learned and are skilled at using the discourse of gender equality, but less so the practice. Future public discussions and debates on political participation and representation should focus on the role of political parties in shaping specific democratic differences. The debates should also emphasize the role of the electoral system in ensuring adequate representation of women. If change towards more gender equality in politics is needed, the joint efforts of all key actors are required.
