The Central Election Commission (CEC) decided not to include the electoral blocks in ballot papers. At a meeting on May 13, the Commission adjusted an earlier decision regarding the approval of the format of the ballot papers to the amendments introduced by the Parliament to Electoral Code on April 10.

The given amendments ban the political parties of Moldova from creating electoral blocks in elections.
