Two candidates ran for the position of Cahul municipality mayor, having submitted their documents to the electoral council of Cahul municipality on the first day of accepting documents. One of them is Marcel Cenusa, a representative of the Party of Socialists (PSRM), and the other is Nicolae Dandis, an independent candidate and current Cahul mayor.
Nicolae Dandis, the current mayor, also requested signature sheets to collect signatures from his supporters on the same day. The law allows independent candidates to collect signatures to run for election.
The deadline for filing documents to register candidates for the next local elections, scheduled for 5 November, began on 29 September and will run until 6 October. The electoral body has 7 days to verify the materials and make a decision on registration or refusal to register candidates after receiving the first documents.
The election campaign will start 30 days before election day for all registered candidates, which means the start of the campaign on 6 October.
