Presidential elections were held in Moldova on 30 October 2016.[1] They were the first direct presidential elections since 1996 and followed a declaration by the Constitutional Court on 4 March 2016 that the 2000 constitutional revision that led to the president being indirectly elected by Parliament was unconstitutional.[2][3] The elections were won by Igor Dodon of the Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova (PSRM).[4][5]
