The Romanian Government recently decided the first round of local elections will be held on June 10, 2012. At the end of 2011, the Government gained a confidence vote in Parliament to merge this year’s local and parliamentary elections, but the Constitutional Court found the bill was illegal, and elections will be held separately.
