Romania is electing a head of state, many Hungarian politicians already cast their votes in the morning, as they said, they voted for common sense.
Kelemen Hunor, the state presidential candidate of the RMDSZ, also did the same:
it was easy for him, since he could vote in full accordance with his political and moral convictions.
He encouraged everyone to take part in the election and vote for common sense, as this is the day that can give hope to Romanian society and Transylvanian Hungarians.
The polling stations opened at 7 a.m. on Sunday.
In the morning, many Hungarian politicians cast their votes, as they said:
they voted for common sense and a candidate who deals with the real problems of the people.
If there is a candidate who gets 50 percent of the valid votes and at least one more vote, then he will be the new president of the country. If none of the candidates succeeds, then the second round of the presidential election will be held on December 8th.
Voting ends at 9:00 p.m., but the process can exceptionally be extended until 11:59 p.m. by presiding officers of polling stations if they find that there are still voters in the queue who could not cast their votes.
The mayor of Székelyudvarhely voted for his political role model
István Szakács-Paál, the mayor of Székelyudvarhely, said that
voted for "one of the most reliable, consistent and accountable" candidates.
In his opinion, the candidate he chose has once again achieved what happened a long time ago, when even Romanian intellectuals say: they vote for him, or would vote for him, it's a shame that he's Hungarian.
"These stereotypes should be erased slowly, we have to show that we can show strength, and that the Hungarian cause is important to all of us"
– summed up Szakács-Paál.
