The referendum in Rășinari regarding mining activities surpassed the 30% participation threshold, with 47.01% turnout reported by the Permanent Electoral Authority. Voting began slowly but picked up pace, peaking between noon and 1 PM. The majority of voters were women aged 45 to 64. While the first condition for validity was met, the second requires at least 25% of registered voters to cast valid votes. The results will be announced after the polls close at 11 PM, and the local administration has pledged to respect the outcome, despite the consultative nature of the vote.
