Speaker of the Deputies' Chamber Marcel Ciolacu stated, upon exiting the polling station, that he voted "in hope of a much better and peaceful Romania," adding that he hopes for the voter turnout to exceed 50 percent.
Marcel Ciolacu maintains that "the voter turnout should definitely be over 50 percent, be as representative as possible for the two people entering the second round of elections."
He has said he is satisfied with the manner in which the voting in the Diaspora is unfolding.
"We have finally managed through a law, which I am personally proud of, to have a normal voting in the Diaspora as well, without tensions, I am really proud of this thing, along with all my colleagues from all parties, we have managed to gather and surpass all party prides and come out with a very, very good law," Marcel Ciolacu also stated.
