Results from the parliamentary elections can be followed in real-time as the vote counting is transmitted live by the Permanent Electoral Authority.
With over 99.4% of the minutes centralized, both in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, PSD remains in the first place with approximately 22%, followed by AUR with around 18%, PNL with 14%, and USR with 12%.
Crossing the 5% entry threshold into Parliament, two new parties - SOS (Diana Șoșoacă), with over 7%, and the Youth People's Party (POT), supporting Călin Georgescu, with about 6% of the votes, have made it. As usual, UDMR also enters with 6%.
Parties that do not pass the electoral threshold (5%) currently gather around 10% of the votes, which will be redistributed to the major winners proportionally to the recorded score, so especially the scores of PSD and AUR will increase further.
In the diaspora, where the vote ended only on Monday morning at 7, with over 90% of the minutes centralized, both in the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, AUR is in the first place with approximately 25% of the votes, followed by USR (22-23%). In third and fourth places are SOS (around 16%) and POT (almost 14%). PSD is barely fifth in the Chamber of Deputies and seventh in the Senate. The extremists AUR + SOS + POT gather more than 50% of the votes from the diaspora.
