District Electoral Council Hîncești nr. 20
September 15 - an opportunity to talk to young people about democracy
16 September 2026 30

Annually, on September 15, the International Day of Democracy is marked - a moment dedicated to reflecting on democratic values, citizens' rights and responsibilities, as well as on the role of each of us in strengthening a society based on respect, responsibility, and participation.

In this context, the Chairperson of the Electoral Council of the Hîncești District Electoral Circumscription No. 20, Zinaida Dubceac, conducted an information and awareness-raising activity at the "Mihai Eminescu" Theoretical High School in the municipality of Hîncești, with the participation of tenth-grade students.

The activity aimed to promote democratic values, facilitate the understanding of the principles of democracy, and encourage young people to actively and responsibly participate in community and societal life.

During the discussions, students were familiarized with important aspects regarding the role, type, and importance of elections in a democratic society, the significance of citizens' participation in decision-making processes, as well as the necessity of young people's involvement in community life.

An important message of the activity was that democratic participation is not limited to exercising the right to vote. It means being informed, responsible, engaged, dialoguing, and respecting the opinions, rights, and freedoms of others.

The Electoral Council of the Hîncești District Electoral Circumscription No. 20 expresses sincere gratitude to Ms. Ana Plăcintă, the director of the "Mihai Eminescu" Theoretical High School, and Tatiana Papanaga, deputy director for education, for their collaboration, support, and responsiveness in promoting civic education and democratic values among young people.

Democracy begins with each of us - through information, responsibility, and involvement.
