National protocol annexed to CEC Hotărârea nr. 3130 of 23 Oct 2024; all 11 candidates, in descending order of votes (the protocol lists them in ballot order). Names given first-name first; the protocol writes SURNAME FIRST NAME in capitals, e.g. 'SANDU MAIA'. party = the nominating party as the protocol writes it, or 'candidat independent'. No candidate reached half of the votes of those who voted, so no row is marked winner; Maia Sandu and Alexandr Stoianoglo went to the run-off. totalVotes = h) valid votes 1,546,031 (rows add up to it exactly). ballots = d) voters who took part 1,564,495 = valid votes + f) 18,464 invalid ballots. electorate = a) 2,710,856 on the basic electoral lists + b) 312,650 on the supplementary lists (voters added on polling day, including all voters abroad); the CEC states turnout against both lists together.
