A POLLING booth was set up in Liverpool yesterday for Romanian nationals wishing to cast a vote in the election of their Parliament.

Liverpool’s municipal buildings hosted the station for Romanians who still wished to have a say in who sits on their Government.

The current elections are the sixth following the collapse of Ceausescu’s Communist regime in 1989, and mark a new way of voting – for the party, as opposed to an individual candidate.

Liverpool’s booth was among only a handful in Britain, and was open all day for voters.

Election president officer Cerasela Raducanescu and committee member Dorina Carter-Timofte oversaw the vote, which coincides with polling in Romania.
