Chisinau. A hacker has attacked the electronic system for vote counting in Moldova as the country is holding a referendum, News Moldova reports.
"As a result of the interference, the source of which is being identified by the competent bodies, the data in the system has doubled. But there is parallel vote counting and we keep in contact with all polling stations across the country," said Central Electoral Commission Chairperson Evgeniya Shtirbu

The poll was the first-ever Moldovan national vote using computerized voter rolls. But CEC officials said a hacker attack led to morning delays in the operation of its website and damaged some digitally stored voter rolls.
The CEC was instead using manual vote counts and relying on paper- based voter roll data, but voting results would "be available only a little later than expected," CEC leader Evgeny Stirbu said.
Communist officials opposing the referendum's passage had alleged that the government was using the computer system to inflate turnout numbers artificially.
"This is why the (CEC) computers are having problems," Communist Party spokesman Yury Muntian had said earlier in the day, according to an Infotag news agency report. "This will allow them to falsify the vote result."
