Abstract

The first free election in Romania, after the coup d’état in 1989 represented a crucial moment in the Romanian history. The results of these first post communist free elections can not be analyses and explain without the presentation of the socio-economic and historical contextual which is specific both the forty five years of the communist dictatorship, and the five months of Post-Communism. The paper “The general election in 20th of May 1990 in the county of Constanta” which is my proposal for this conference contains a presentation in a chronological succession of the main events during the coup d’état in 22nd December 1989, and after the coup d’état till the election of may 20th 1990. I also included some juridical and political analysis and consideration about the election law system. On the basis of the documents from the personal archive of the honorable judge Dan Iulian Drăgan, a member of County Election Bureau, and his oral testimony, I succeded to have a clear image of the development of the 20th may 1990 election in the county of Constanta. Regarding the speculation of election fiddle, during the election, I can state that according to documents, there were some attempts, but the final result was not very much influenced. I also try to answer to the question why the electorate gave a massive vote to the National Salvation Front?
