THE NEW ELECTION CODE OF ARMENIA ENABLES TO FALSIFY THE RESULTS OF
ELECTIONS

YEREVAN, May 24. /ARKA/. The new Election Code (EC) of Armenia enables
to falsify the results of elections, as the Deputy Chairman of
Democracy NGO Hrair Tovmasyan stated at today’s press
conference. According to him, the new edition of EC is nothing else
but imitation of democratization of Armenia. “In particular, electors
will be given only bulletins, and stubs will kept by a Chairman of the
EC, thus enabling to organize the so-called “merry-go-round”, he
said. Tovmasyan added that from now on signatures of members of
commissions will be not on a seal, but on sacks with bulletins. “Who
will hinder the Chairman of commission to open the sack, fill it with
new bulletins and seal it again? Especially that seal is kept by him”,
he said.

Tovmasyan noted that Democracy NGO prepared a statement, which it will
direct to the Venetian Commission of the CE.
