The voter rolls of Modern-day Moldova are not publicly accessible, but genealogists can rely on archival records from the Russian Empire, Romania, and the Soviet Union to trace ancestral ties. Revision lists, census substitutes, internal passports, and residential registrations (propiska) document residence, family members, and eligibility for state services. During the Romanian administration of Bessarabia (1918–1940), some municipal-level civil and tax records may also serve as electoral roll substitutes. Soviet-era documents often recorded detailed information useful for building family trees, including occupations and address histories. Researchers should consult the National Archives of Moldova and local repositories for access to these key genealogical sources.
