Summary/Abstract: Electoral behavior constitutes an extremely important component in a democratic society, with a major impact on the whole country. This differs according to the environment in which the voter lives, and the electoral behavior of rural voters is important because rural Romania represents almost half of the country. Residents of rural communities are guided by different values and standards than those in urban areas, because many factors such as poverty, poor education, ageing population, traditional mentality intervene and make the rural voter have different motivations when choosing to participate in voting.
