In the  reports released during the campaign period we warned that such a  situation could occur\u201d, said Ion Manole.<\/p>\n<p>At this time, Promo-LEX has collected data from the observers at the  voting stations were a Quick Count is being conducted. Observers have  reported that 99% of voting sections in the country opened on time, with  1% of voting stations opening for voting after 7.15am. In 2% of the  voting sections involved in the Quick Count sample, Promo-LEX observers  were denied access into the voting sections at the time of opening.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The Promo-LEX Monitoring Effort is implemented within the framework of  the Civic Coalition for Free and Fair Elections.
