| Summary: | 2012 election, which took place under exceptional political auspices, is generally considered atypical when compared to the other five post-communist local election cycles, the two reasons for this being the increased citizen ballot presence (caused by the particularity of the election period) and the specific legislature changes. Is such an approach justified? By aiming to investigate the validity of such an approach, we will retrace the history of post-communist Romanian local elections, by looking at the effective political consequences and especially at the dynamics of the electoral formulas that were employed.
