 abstract = {European Parliament elections were held in Romania on 24 May 2019. The results were spectacular. PSD, the ruling party, suffered a major defeat, amidst a strong mobilization in favour of PNL and USR-PLUS, the main opposition parties. This paper is one of the first detailed attempts to understand the electoral behaviors at this contest. Voting decisions are researched through an exploratory spatial analysis on a case study of Iași, one of Romania's most important cities. Results indicate patterns of spatial polarization within the political geographic space of Iași. The paper makes contributions on issues of local politics of Iași, Romanian party politics and electoral behavior, and the special nature of European Parliament elections.},
