About this election
How the country is governed
Romania is a semi-presidential republic whose president is elected directly for a five-year term by a two-round majority system. The president shares executive authority with a government accountable to Parliament, but wields important powers over foreign policy, defence and the nomination of the prime minister. The Constitutional Court oversees the legality of the electoral process and has the authority to validate or annul a presidential election — a power it had never before used to cancel a vote already cast, making the 2024 decision a landmark and deeply contested moment in Romanian constitutional history.
