Romania’s Central Electoral Office Tuesday said independent candidate Sorin Oprescu leads the race for Bucharest mayoralty with 30.17% of the votes, which places him ahead of democrat liberal rival Vasile Blaga who gained 29.48% of the votes.

Candidacy literature, submitted by candidates in the Romanian local elections, can be typed on a computer, but the documents need to be dated and signed in hand writing, according to a decision made by the Central Electoral Office (BEC), in its first meeting.
