After the official counting of the votes and declaring results by the Central Election Bureau, two weeks, on May 18, the second round of the election will be organized, which will meet two leaders of the first round.
A large group of Romanians abroad, where the popular Eurskepik Simion, began a vote on Friday. There was a high turnout.

The main rivals of Simion are two centrists: 65-year-old former senator Krin Antonescu, who is supported by three parties of the current pro-Western government, and 55-year-old Bucharest Mayor Nikusor Dan, who runs as an independent candidate with an anti-corruption program. Both stand for EU and NATO membership and support Ukraine.
Victor Ponta, a former left Prime Minister, who has become a conservative nationalist, ranks fourth in polls.
