USR (Save Romania Union) leader Dan Barna on Thursday stated that the local elections should be organised in end-September and he pleaded for a vote by mail this time.
He added that it is very clear that the electoral activity will move online more than ever before and that, probably, there will no longer be seen such gatherings or caravans with a lot of people "crowding in the square and sharing leaflets while wearing nice T-shirts with logos on them."
"This I believe won't happen this time, regardless of how much the number of COVID cases will drop. We support, and this is one of the directions that we promote, the voting by mail, which we already tried in the parliamentary elections of 2016 and the elections to the European Parliament, although only in the diaspora, we believe we can use it in the local elections too," said the USR leader.
