THE REALIZATION OF THE IMPORTANCE OF PARTICIPATING IN ELECTIONS GROWN
According to the voting in , when 250 people took part in 6
days, 63% of citizens voted for a party taking into account the
ideological directions of the party. This fact is against the
viewpoint of psychologists that people don’t believe in any project or
idea. Only 3% of Armenians are ready to vote taking bribes. And maybe
all the philanthropies and donations of the candidates, the medical
equipments, from 5 to 15 thousand drams, various promises, seeds, etc
will have an opposite influence on the decisions of the voters. The
sympathy for the leader of a party plays a very important role in the
opinion of 31% of voters.
To the question, if the pre-electoral propaganda had an influence on
their opinion, 60% gave a negative answer. 58% of voters think that
their vote and participation in the elections may really influence on
the results of the elections. The majority of voters (47%) are sure
that the pre-election atmosphere has become healthier, and the
realization of the importance of participating in elections has grown.
