The United States has congratulated the people of Moldova for turning out in record numbers to vote in their presidential election and a referendum on joining the European Union. Despite efforts by Russia to disrupt the process, the election was well-organized and competitive, as confirmed by international observers.
In the referendum, the majority of Moldovans voted to change their constitution to move closer to joining the EU. Russia attempted to interfere by spreading false information, offering illegal financing, and using cyberattacks, but Moldova's democracy held firm.
As Moldova prepares for the second round of the presidential election on November 3, the U.S. remains concerned that Russia may try to interfere again. The United States continues to support Moldova in ensuring a free, transparent, and fair election and stands with the people of Moldova as they seek a secure and democratic future.
