The Central Electoral Commission and the Continuous Training Center in the Electoral Field have launched an information campaign dedicated to the International Day of Democracy, celebrated annually on September 15. The campaign aims to promote democratic values, strengthen civic and electoral culture, and encourage citizens to actively participate in community life.

   In this context, the electoral council of electoral constituency Basarabeasca No. 5 is conducting a series of information and civic education activities in the localities of the constituency from September 14 to 18, 2026.

   The first activity took place on Monday, September 14, at the Library in the village of Abaclia, where the president of the CECE Basarabeasca No. 5, Violeta Topală, discussed with a group of active voters from the locality about the importance of democracy and civic participation.

   During the meeting, topics of interest to citizens were addressed, such as the values and principles of a democratic society, electoral rights, voting procedures, as well as the importance of accurate information and verification of information in the public space.

   Particular emphasis was placed on preventing and combating misinformation. Participants were encouraged to verify information from multiple sources and to prioritize information published on the official pages of state institutions. In an ever-changing informational space, a well-informed citizen is less vulnerable to manipulation and can make conscious and responsible decisions.

   Democracy means not only exercising the right to vote but also involvement, responsibility, respect for the rights and freedoms of others, as well as active participation in community life. Through such activities, CECE Basarabeasca No. 5 contributes to strengthening a democratic and electoral culture among citizens.

   CECE Basarabeasca No. 5 thanks the employees of the Library in the village of Abaclia for their openness, support, and involvement in organizing this information and civic education activity.

   Activities dedicated to the International Day of Democracy will continue throughout the week as part of the campaign conducted in the constituency.
