Yesterday elections were held in 4 communities in Yerevan. In three
of them the residents were electing heads of community, and in the
forth they were electing aldermen. Up to now the final results are
not known, but the preliminary results are.
It is already clear that the electors were not interested in
the election process and were not active. For example, in the
Qanaqer-Zeytun community only 22 796 of the 53 491 registered electors
participated in the elections, in Noubarashen- only 3900 of 7211
elections, and in Erebouni – only half of the 87 927 electors. In
the Norq-Marash region where aldermen were to be elected, 4176 of
the 8292 citizens participated in the election.
There have also been problems with the electoral rolls. In the
Erebouni, Noubarashen and Qanaqer-Zeytun communities 18, 374 and
540 electors respectively have applied to the court to restore their
electoral right.
By preliminary results in the Norq-Marash community all the candidates
for aldermen are elected. In Noubarashen Mher Hovhannisyan has received
the majority of votes, and in Erebouni Mher Sedrakyan has been elected.
As for Qanaqer-Zeytun, two of the candidates have received almost
equal quantity of votes, and only after a second counting will they
be able to say who has been elected.
