The precise question was:
Do you agree that, beginning with the next elections that will be held for the Romanian Parliament, all deputies and senators be elected in single-member constituencies, based on a majority vote in two rounds?
Sunteți de acord ca, începând cu primele alegeri care vor fi organizate pentru Parlamentul României, toți deputații și senatorii să fie aleși în circumscripții uninominale, pe baza unui scrutin majoritar în două tururi?
Although 81% of voters were in favour of the proposal, the low turnout of 26% meant that the referendum was invalid.[5] Thus, the MMP proposal of PM Tăriceanu was used at the next elections instead.[6][7]
