Parliament underwent its own qualified democratization through partial competitive elections last March.

In partial municipal elections last month in 26 towns and villages, turnout was 81 percent.

"There are, if you talk to experts in these matters, all kinds of ways to organize partial elections and caucuses," he said.

In 1887, a system of partial elections was established, allowing selected individuals to vote for members on the board.

The Government called for partial election in Cluj-Napoca on 15 February 2009.

Campaigning for the partial election began on September 15.

It confirmed the final results of the partial election on October 15.

No legislative elections have been held since 1970 when there were partial elections to the body.

Starting with 2011 all parties are allowed to propose candidates in partial elections.

As a result, all members would be elected at the same time, rather than in partial elections.
