Sputnik News Service December 9, 2018 Sunday 4:54 PM UTC Armenia Prosecutor General Office to Look Into 32 Alleged Violations at Parliamentary Vote YEREVAN, December 9 (Sputnik) - The Armenian Prosecutor General's Office will investigate 32 cases of possible violations reported during the country's snap parliamentary elections, a spokesman for the office said Sunday. Snap parliamentary elections are being held in Armenia on Sunday for the first time in the country's history. Two blocks and nine parties are taking part. There is no turnout threshold, however, to enter the parliament, a party must secure more than 5 percent of the vote and alliances must get over 7 percent. At the same time, according to the law, at least three political forces must be represented in parliament. "The Prosecutor General's Office selected 65 notifications [of violations] out of the multiple appeals. Of them, 32 contained real incidents of an offense," Sevak Ovannisyan said at a briefing, adding that the office would be looking into the alleged violations. The majority of reported violations were related to people voting more than once, the official said. Ovannisyan noted that the current elections were held peacefully and orderly. A political crisis in Armenia broke out earlier in April after ex-President Serzh Sargsyan was nominated as prime minister. The move, regarded as a way for Sargsyan, who had served as president for two terms, to stay in power, led to large-scale anti-government protests and dissolution of the sitting parliament.
