In the context of the International Day of Democracy, celebrated today on September 15, 2026, I had the opportunity to deliver a presentation on this subject in front of 4 high school classes. The host of the event was the "Emil Necula" Theoretical High School in the village of Mereni, Anenii Noi district.

Discussions with the high school students focused on free and fair elections as the foundation of democracy. An effective method of expressing the will of the people and assessing the degree of societal satisfaction regarding public policies. We reviewed the state power bodies that are formed based on democratic elections. We analyzed the electoral bodies and the role of the Central Electoral Commission in the electoral process. The methods of exercising the right to vote, the current amendments that citizens can utilize in the electoral process. All these aspects of the democratic exercise of elections were analyzed in an interactive manner with the adolescents present in the room.

The presentation concluded with a question-and-answer session in which the young people expressed interest in the method of voting by mail and the techniques for ensuring secret voting. There was also a heightened interest in the risks generated by disinformation techniques and methods, the tools to combat them, and the importance of critical analysis of information sources.
