Six main parties or alliances are competing for seats in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. Romanians vote in national poll The global economic crisis is likely to be the biggest issue for the 18 million Romanians eligible to vote. PM Calin Popescu Tariceanu's centre-right Liberal Party has lagged in the polls with left-wing Social Democrats expected to do well, analysts say. For the first time, Romanians are choosing from among individual candidates instead of party lists as they fill seats in the 452-member parliament. But BBC Eastern Europe correspondent Nick Thorpe says the complex voting system has led some observers to express concerns about the possibility of fraud. In the 19 years since the Romanian revolution, the left have traditionally shown more discipline, while centre-right alliances have achieved dramatic election victories, but broken up under the strains of governing, our correspondent says. Romania's president has the power to nominate the prime minister - which can have a significant impact on the shape of the government, if the result is close.
