The ruling Civil Contract (CC) Party of Armenia distributes money for votes at its election office at Avan district of Yerevan, Dejavu writes on its Telegram channel.

"Our source told us that yesterday some citizens visited the CC Avan district [election] office and received money to secure votes for the CC on June 20 [the day of snap parliamentary elections]. Those people were offered 1,000,000 drams for 50 votes, but in some cases others, they ‘agreed’ for 2,000,000 drams. There was even a man who, after a long persuasion only, agreed to bring a copy of only 50 passports for 3,000,000 drams, ‘and let's finish with that,’ they told the representative of the office.

Our source also said that it is very difficult to engage ‘shufflers;’ people say that it has become terribly difficult to secure votes even with money," Dejavu wrote on Telegram.
