A NGO of young Roma women and men from Moldova decided to conduct an unconventional awareness campaign to promote conscious voting in communities with the largest Roma populations during the June 2015 local election campaign. “Armed” with traditional horse-driven carts and an orchestra of Romani musicians, for nearly two weeks the Union of Roma Youth from Moldova "Tarna-Rom" organized the National "Let's vote!"
