Bottom Line
- Moldova’s October 20, 2024, presidential election and accompanying referendum mark a pivotal moment for the country’s future.
- Voters will decide on a constitutional amendment that could cement an “irreversible European path,” setting the stage for Moldova’s potential EU accession by 2030.
- The election reflects deeper issues of national identity, sovereignty, and Moldova's choice between the East and the West—a choice with substantial geopolitical implications in the current climate of Russian aggression and the ongoing war in Ukraine.
