Preliminary Results in Moldova

At the time of this post, it is a bit past 3 am in Chisinau, Moldova. The CEC is reporting results with 31.45% of the vote counted, and the Party of Communists leads with 53.87% of the recorded votes. While the CEC has posted information about polling stations, the current reports about voting are aggregated at the national level only. It is difficult to assess how the vote count is likely to evolve without a sense of what precincts have reported. With the previously mentioned BBC report on exit polls as a guide, we should expect the Communist tally to taper off as more results come in.
