The 2021 Transnistrian presidential election was held in Transnistria on 12 December 2021[1] with early voting starting on 6 December 2021.[2] Two candidates were able to register to participate in the elections — incumbent president Vadim Krasnoselsky,[3] and Sergey Pynzar, who came in second in 2016.[4]
Voter turnout was very low, but not low enough to invalidate the results of the election.[5]
President Vadim Krasnoselsky was reelected with a margin so important that the results, that were expected to be announced the following day on 13 December 2021, were announced in the evening.
Moldova does not recognize Transnistria nor this election.[2]
Candidates
Vadim Krasnoselsky, winner of the 2016 election and incumbent President, ran for re-election. He was opposed by Sergey Pynzar, a farmer and lawmaker of the Grigoriopol district legislature.[2][6]
Conduct
Only election observers from Russia monitored the election. Moldova requested that other nations not observe the elections because it might legitimize Transnistria's disputed status.[2]
Turnout was significantly lower than in the 2016 elections.[5]
Measures to facilitate voter turnout were taken following the very poor turnout to the September 2021 Russian legislative elections in which two-thirds of Tranistrian citizens had the right to vote, as they hold Russian passports.[2] Early voting was put in place on election week.
The 25% threshold below which elections are not deemed valid was thus averted.[7]
