Parliamentary elections - 2005
On the March 6, 2005 parliamentary elections were held in the Republic of Moldova. As many as 1,970 polling stations divided into 37 electoral constituencies of second level were opened inside and outside Moldova for scrutiny. As much as 64.84 percent of voters included in electoral lists attended the scrutiny. The highest participation rate was registered in the district of Basarabeasca, while the lowest participation rate was recorded in the Chisinau municipality. As a result of the 2005 elections, the Party of Communists of the Republic of Moldova gained 56 seats in the 101-member Parliament - more than the minimum 51 seats required to form a government, but short of the 61 votes necessary to elect a president. President Vladimir Voronin was therefore re-elected with support from the Christian Democratic People's Party and from the Democratic and Social Liberal parties.
