Yes.

From the NT rules:
After the fourth day, the election pool is reduced to the top five candidates, plus ties, plus those with at least 5% of the total number of votes. No new registrations are allowed in the second phase of the election.


That by itself doesn't explain how the candidate pool would have dropped from 7 to 3, though, does it?

eram 7 candidati si acum am ramas cei 3 autohtoni....


That, in translation from their debate thread, means "We were 7 candidates and now we are left only the local 3"

You can't actually see who the candidates are yourself as a non-Moldovan user, so I think this is an unreliable bug report, really. Possibly the writer of that is not talking literally, but about their own interpretation of where the race is.

Could it be that if all other 4 candidates had 0 votes they were just dropped even though they were all tied for 4th, technically?

That's a reasonable theory, for sure.

That would be correct.

So is this considered a bug, or a gap in the rules documentation? I vote bug... for small countries, probably a good idea to not cut the zero-vote users.

I'm pretty sure it's a feature.

The three candidates voted themselves, so currently there is a three way tie (mot probably) each with one vote.

Being a small country it wouldn't hurt to let them have more than those 4 first days, but I guess the game goes the way the game goes.

If so, I don't like it. For countries where 1 or 2 votes are enough to win, you're potentially eliminating viable candidates.

Anyway, if it is working as designed, let's get the rules fixed.
