All the other 11 candidates got between 0.1% and 9% of the votes. The incumbent head of state said the war against the Social Democratic Party is not over, and called on citizens to vote in the second round as well. Sundays vote helps the Social Democrats to keep campaigning and to prove what they want to achieve on behalf of Romanias people, said Viorica Dancila. According to the Central Electoral Bureau, the turnout in the country was 47.66%. In the diaspora, where people went to polling stations as of Friday, record-high turnout figures were reported, with over 650,000 voters reported to have cast their ballots.
