Abstract: The electoral system in Romania has undergone profound transformations since 1989, shaping both the political architecture and the functioning of democratic institutions. This literature review synthesizes the main academic contributions regarding Romania’s semi-presidential regime, the evolution of electoral rules, and the applicability of Duverger’s theory on the mechanical and psychological effects of electoral systems.
Keywords: management, digital, electoral campaign, voter segmentation, political communication.
