Romania: MAE to use Twitter to quench suspicion of ballot box fraud abroad

Romania: MAE to use Twitter to quench suspicion of ballot box fraud abroad:

Bucharest, Nov 2 /Agerpres/ - Romania's Foreign Ministry (MAE) will present on Twitter the organisation abroad of the November 22 presidential election, and this initiative is sought as an exercise in transparency over the election, Director General of the MAE Public Diplomacy Department Oana Marinescu told a news conference on Monday.

She added that for the smooth running of the election and the referendum on single-chamber Parliament, communication with the polling stations abroad is essential.

Marinescu added that using Twitter for communication is an exercise in transparency meant to quench any suspicion of ballot box fraud.
...
There will be 294 polling stations opened all over the world for the November 22 presidential election, which is more then 100 over the 190 stations opened for the Romanians abroad in the previous presidential election of 2004.
