FOR EXCLUDING FALSIFICATIONS RA CEC MEMBER PROPOSES OBSERVERS STAYING
AT ONE ELECTORAL DISTRICT DURING WHOLE ELECTION DAY

YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 2, NOYAN TAPAN. The foreign observers should be
invited to parliamentary elections immediately after publicizing the
date of the elections. RA Central Electoral Commission member Felix
Khachatrian gave such assurance at the February 2 press conference. In
his words, the process of electoral falsifications starts long before
the elections when they bribe the electors, when the principle of
ensuring equal conditions for candidates is violated during the
electoral campaign, etc. In CEC member’s words, if the observers not
go from one electoral district to another but stay at one district
during the whole election day, the falsifications will be excluded
there.

F.Khachatrian reported that according to CEC decision, during
calculation of votes given by proportional system the empowered
persons of candidates nominated by majoritarian system are to be asked
to leave the districts. The CEC member proposes invalidating this
point of decision, as ballot-boxes can be changed during absence of
empowered persons.
