another easy and safe way to do it:

The safest and (so far the easiest) way we recommend to vote is to use this tool EOSC (or cleos for advanced users).

EOSC is a tool which was developed by team EOS Canada.
It had a security audit performed by an independed third party Elliptica Security .

Our official BP account name is eosromania22

  1. Download EOSC release for your operating system (in this case Windows)
    https://github.com/eoscanada/eosc/releases

  2. Extract/unzip the EOSC release: extract eosc_0.6.9_windows_x86_64.zip to a new directory (for example, C:/eosc )
    be aware the name of the zip might be different cause new improved versions might be released by the time you will read and execute these steps

  3. Create your vault, a vault is a safe, encrypted place to store your private keys in EOSC
    on Windows: Search for Command Prompts (cmd) and open that program

    Using the Command/Terminal

    Browse to the directory where you extracted the EOSC, if you followed this example step by step it should be in c:/eosc

    cd C:/eosc
    eosc vault create

  4. Type passphrase (you'll need to remember for later)
    For security reasons the passphrase will not show up on screen when you type it in.
    Confirm the passphrase, twice.

  5. Add your private key to vault
    eosc vault add

    It will ask you for your passphrase, enter it.
    It will ask you for your EOS private key, you can paste it at this point. (it will not show up on the terminal screen)
    It will ask you to enter a 2nd private key if you want. If none, press enter.

  6. Retrieve your EOS account name that was created for your Ethereum public key
    On your browser, open https://eosauthority.com
    Enter your PUBLIC ETHEREUM KEY, that is an address that starts with 0x
    Be aware here you have to enter they PUBLIC ETHEREUM KEY not the PUBLIC EOS KEY; if you only have the PUBLIC EOS KEY then go to this website http://eosflare.io/key/EOS_PUBLIC_KEY and you can retreive your EOS account this way

    *** ATTENTION : Do not enter your private key on any of these websites ***

    After entering your public key (on eosauthority.com) click on "Check my EOS" link button and the website we'll show you the EOS public key and the EOS account name that was created for you on the mainnet snapshot; make note of your EOS account name

  7. Vote for eosromania22
    Back in the terminal window,

    eosc vote producers [YOUR EOS ACCOUNT NAME] eosromania22

    It will confirm in the terminal if the voting process was done correctly!

EDIT:
This is the only change we have at the moment, as of September 19th 2018, we can not support running a BP anymore, we will continue to be in the Romanian community an EOS voice though.
