A non-binding two-part referendum was held in Moldova on 24 February 2019, alongside parliamentary elections.[1] Voters were asked two questions; whether the number of MPs should be reduced from 101 to 61 and whether MPs should be open to recall.[2] Both proposals were approved by voters, with voter turnout above the 33% threshold required to validate the result.[3]

Campaign

Parties were able to formally register as part of the for or against campaigns for both questions.[4]
