Romania TV was fined 10,000 lei by the Permanent Electoral Authority (AEP) for publishing exit poll data seven times during the November 24, 2024 election. The court rejected Romania TV's appeal, stating that the ban on publishing exit polls before polling stations close applies to online media as well. The court emphasized that both companies involved share the same management and that the electoral campaign rules apply broadly, including online written press.
