September 18 community heads will be elected in three communities of
Yerevan. After than each Sunday in different communities the citizens
will elect the community head and alderman. “Will you take part in
the election to the local self-government?” We addressed this question
to 100 citizens September 5-8.

30% of the respondents found it hard to answer our question. Some
of them were unaware of the coming election. 40% said they will not
vote. Only 35% answered they will take part in the election.

“I have no belief. They speak well but do nothing”, a woman said. To
note, 80% of the respondents mentioned of the absence of any belief.

“I will certainly go and vote. It’s my civic duty,” a woman of 40
said. “In case we do not go there will be more falsifications” said
a man, who, in his words, was a member of the electoral committee
for 5 times. About 30% of those surveyed are going to vote against all.
