YEREVAN, JANUARY 10, ARMENPRESS: An Armenian police department in
charge of passports and visas, which is also vested with the authority
to compile voter lists, handed the complete lists to the country’s
Central Election Commission (CEC).

The latter has placed them on its official website and now every
eligible voter with an access to Internet can check his or her name.

A spokeswoman for the CEC, Tatevik Ohanian, said to Armenpress the
voter lists contain 2,311,917 names of eligible voters.

She said the deadline for citizens with no registration who can ask
their district leaders to include their names on the lists is January
29. By the way, before 2006 May 12 parliamentary elections the voter
lists had overall 2,316,038 names.

Under the law voter lists will be fixed outside all polling stations
on January 10. Overall there are 1,923 polling stations across the
country, of which 442 are in Yerevan. Local election commissions
should be formed between January 24-27.
