Next investigate all European elections and interference from x and meta too.
Is the election result still cancelled?
@Wizard_Pope Cancelled for good. The first round will start again in March, and all the candidates will have to go all the way to gathering the support signatures (which is the 1st step). We already have one new candidate - Nicușor Dan, the incumbent mayor of Bucharest, which just announced he'll run yesterday evening.

Good to hear
Yeah, they are having a redo in a couple months.
Note that the election cancelled was just a first round, so the results were who makes it to next round and not who actually gets elected.
Yeah I know we have a similar system of rounds. Just wondered if they were redoing it
