A quick comment on turnout
We are a country where a 55% turnout was declared by the media as a "Democratic uprising"
Best scenario we reach 40%, worst case we get somewhere around low 30%

Only 15% turnout in Bucharest, an election that most parties put all their hopes on.
Good news for Firea, do not be naive and think PSDs voters being older are scared of Corona. These are people that at 6:45 are present to vote

Barely 30% turnout in Bucharest. Highest turnout at 51% in PSD strongholds in Teleorman, Olt and Giurgiu.
40% turnout nation wide. A good number, with luck we might even reach 50%
Turnout though much higher in rural areas. No major city has a turnout over 30%

PSDs ability to mobilize their core voters remains impressive as always. The opposition always underestimated this.
We'll see soon but i think PSD will avoid a full defeat.

Turnout of 44% at 8 PM. Unlikely much will change, we'll have a turnout of 45-46% most likely.

While we get some results from mayor seats, its important to remember to large degrees the big prize are the regional county councils.
But it'll take a while to get the full picture here

I'm in a hurry and there's not much to talk of right now outside Bucharest frankly.
I'll write a more detailed thread tomorrow when results are clearer, in both the capitals 2 tight races and in the provinces. (with some nice maps likely!
