Explaining European Parliament Voters’ Choice: Competing Insights on Elections and Elected from Vâlcea County – May 2014

Summary/Abstract: In 2014, Romania was facing the third round of European Parliament elections in its history. Following the two on term ballots (2009, 2014), we were able to make a comparative analysis about the manner in which the main actors of the Romanian political scene performed, from the general point of view, and in Vâlcea, from the particular point of view. The low voting presence proved that the citizens were less interested in the European parliament elections, for the Romanian public opinion the stake being lower due to the fact that the European topics were not perceived as having a direct impact on everyday life. Vâlcea County did not diverge, being perfectly framed in the limitations imposed by the rest of the country, with a low presence to voting and with results similar to the national ones.
