Approximately 30 police and gendarmes will be deployed in Rășinari, Sibiu County, from November 6-8, 2026, to ensure public order during the local referendum on November 8. Residents will vote on a mining project in Valea Dobra. The local police and gendarmerie have implemented special measures for a safe electoral process, including protecting voting materials and ensuring security at polling stations. Authorities advise citizens to follow legal guidelines and act responsibly during the election. The referendum is controversial due to concerns about environmental impacts from the proposed mining project by Mineral Proiect Invest, which aims to exploit magnesite resources.
