Five categories, never conflated
The difference between these is the whole point. An attacked election is not the same as a falsified one.
The recorded numbers do not reflect the votes cast.
Process violationsUnequal media access, repression, illegal financing, vote buying, misuse of state resources.
Foreign interferenceCyberattacks, hack-and-leak, covert foreign financing, impersonation of media or institutions by a foreign state or proxy.
Information operationsTroll farms, fake local-media networks, covert political ads, coordinated inauthentic amplification — foreign or domestic.
Statistical anomaliesPatterns in the data worth examining — explicitly not proof of fraud.
A finding sits in exactly one category. Colors and icons carry the same meaning everywhere on the site.

What was proven — and what was not
The clearest test of a trustworthy record is whether it can hold both statements at once.
Moldova 2025 Parliamentary Election
What is established
- Foreign interferenceConfirmed
ODIHR concluded that foreign interference, illicit financing, cyber-attacks and widespread disinformation undermined the electoral process, while distinguishing those pressures from the administration of election day.
Sources:1 - Foreign interferenceCorroborated
Moldovan Police documented an ongoing investigation into Șor-affiliated organizers using sanctioned Russian bank PSB, the Taito app and Telegram channels for suspected electoral corruption and Russian-coordinated disinformation before the vote.
What is not established
- Result falsificationDebunked
The interference and financing findings do not establish changed vote totals. ODIHR described election day as well organized and transparent, despite a number of concerning security incidents, and the Constitutional Court confirmed the results.
- Foreign interferenceAlleged
The cited sources do not quantify how many votes, if any, were changed by illicit payments, cyber-attacks or disinformation. Documented attempts and measurable electoral effect are separate questions.
