2020 Presidential Elections. Post-electoral opinion survey

March 17, 2021

The post-electoral opinion survey presents the most important facts and results about 2020 presidential elections. The main purpose of the survey was to measure the impact of civic education campaigns of voters aimed at changes in voters' perception of the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) and the Centre for Continuous Electoral Training (CCET) activity. Data are analyzed in comparison with two other poste-electoral surveys: parliamentary elections held on February 24, 2019 and local general elections held on October 20 and November 3, 2019.  

The study was based on a survey representative at national level, covering all regions of the country, including urban and rural localities. The target group was the population with voting rights, aged 18 and older from 480 localities. In total, 1510 respondents were interviewed. The margin of error for this sample size is ± 2.5%. The data were collected from December 11, 2020 to January 20, 2021.   

The opinion survey has been conducted in the framework of the “Enhancing democracy in Moldova through inclusive and transparent elections” project, implemented by UNDP Moldova, with the financial support from the American people provided through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
