"save Moldova."
"Russia poses a danger to our democracies. Our democracy is young and fragile, but that does not mean that states with longer democracies are not in danger. We want to live in a democracy,"
"Today, in our country, democracy is in the hands of Moldovans. Only they can save the Republic of Moldova."
Over 1.2 million people, about 43 percent of eligible voters, had cast ballots by 5 p.m. on September 28. Polls opened at 7 a.m. and will close at 9 p.m., with results expected soon after.

The local watchdog Promo-LEX reported hundreds of incidents including group voting, electoral advertising inside polling stations, organized voter transportation, and breaches of voting secrecy. President Maia Sandu urged citizens to vote to save Moldova's democracy.
