      ab: The possible presence of irregularities or electoral fraud in the 1992 Romanian parliamentary elections is discussed. The elections succeeded in deflating the emerging democratic opposition, consolidated the coalition backing President Ion Iliescu, and brought into the party system and media spotlight three extremist elements that will remain a nationalistic threat of polarization. Topics discussed include the circumstantial evidence relating to the disparity between two polls and the official results; voting irregularities, such as the inordinately high number of canceled ballots and votes cast away from the home polling station; and obstacles to accountability. It is concluded that irregularities favored the ruling coalition, although the existence of actual electoral fraud is open to debate.
