The Elections of Mayors in Cluj County, Romania, in June 2008. The territorial-political complexity of the subject under consideration urged us to study in this paper only the way of electing the mayors in those 81 administrative-territorial units of the Cluj County: the cities of Cluj-Napoca, Turda, Dej, Câmpia Turzii and Dej, the town of Huedin and the 75 communes. As a result of the elections, held in two rounds (1st of June 2008, with the election of 32 among the mayors and 15 of June 2008, with the election of the reminder of 49 mandates), the 81 mayor offices went to the following political parties: the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP, with 28 mandates, respectively 34,6 %), the National Liberal Party (NLP, 23 and 28,4 %), the Social Democratic Party (SDP, 17 and 21,0 %), the Democratic Union of Hungarians from Romania (DUHR, 8 and 9,9 %), Independent Candidates (IC, 3 and 3,7 %), the New Generation Party-Christian Democratic (NGP-CD, 1 and 1,2 %) and the Democratic Force (DF, 1 and 1,2 %). The dominance of the Liberal Democratic Party (Cluj-Napoca, Turda, Câmpia Turzii and Gherla) can be noticed in the urban centers of the county, and also a territorial distribution of the mandates according to proximity and neighborhood effect.
