Among there is the law-in-draft "On Amendments to the Electoral Code". The authors of the legislative initiative, deputies Igor Buga and Andrei Safonov offer to establish that for the elections of the President of PMR valid required turnout of more than 25% of the voters included in the electoral lists at the time of voting. The argument provides data conducted November 29, 2015 elections to representative bodies. They showed that the level of voter turnout in some areas and cities of the republic did not exceed 50%. The main reason - is high level of labor migration. Developers of the law-in-draft in this regard suggest that the upcoming presidential elections, scheduled for December 2016 could not take place due to low turnout.
