Modern American-inspired democracy, essentially, has established and supported electoral competition between political blocs, capable of supporting and justifying multi-partyism as an expression of the capacity for political organization of society. In recent decades, many states have adopted regulatory frameworks and electoral rules that facilitate independent candidacies, mainly in local and regional elections. In this article we debate, in what extent does the cooperation of masses of individuals, of a subnational collectivity, influence the political goals of the electoral system, to what extent does the institutional context influence the emergence of independent candidates, to what extent do the beliefs of collectivities allow the emergence of such candidates in the Republic of Moldova.
