Romania 's presidential election redo is a high-stakes test of its democracy following annulled vote.

Last year's annulling vote triggered the country’s deepest political crisis since 1989 .

The far-right candidate Calin Georgescu topped first -round polls but was barred from the rerun.

Moscow has denied it meddled in the election.

A runoff could pit the far-right Simion against either Dan , Ponta , or Antonescu .

A Simion presidency could threaten EU unity as the war rages on in neighboring Ukraine .

The stakes go beyond who wins the next five-year presidency and may be viewed as a referendum on democracy.
