Join us for this important two-day event on 8–9 July 2025, online and in Chișinău, Republic of Moldova. The conference is proudly hosted by the Central Electoral Commission of Moldova in partnership with Westminster Foundation for Democracy, International IDEA, UNDP, the Council of Europe, IFES, and the International Republican Institute and other organisations.

Democracies across the world face mounting threats. In Easter Europe, opaque political financing, external influence operations, and sophisticated hybrid interference strategies are increasingly targeting electoral processes.

Safeguarding electoral integrity requires comprehensive approaches that both protect fundamental democratic rights and ensure appropriate regulation of online media, digital networks, and emerging financial technologies.

The regional 2025 Money in Politics conference will consider the intersection of political finance, electoral security, and digital resilience. The conference, held in Moldova, will explore pressing challenges including online electoral campaign risks, illicit political financing in digital spaces, foreign interference mechanisms, cryptocurrency vulnerabilities, vote buying practices, and coordinated disinformation campaigns.
