Yesterday during a special sitting the Central Electoral Committee
adopted a package of proposals of “It’s Your Choice” NGO. The package
provides for concretization of responsibility, that is, if an observer
makes a violation, not the organization he represents but he himself
will be called to account.
By another proposal the right of moving within the polling station
should not belong to one observing organization but to all the
observers.
This time “It’s Your Choice” organization observed the election to the
local self-government in 98 polling stations in Kotayk, Ararat, Vayots
Dzor and Syunik. By their assessments, the election that could seem
peaceful but it is not the evidence of conscious choice of the voters.
As Chairman Harutyun Hambartsumyan says, new violations were fixed
along with the old ones.
Vice Chair Khachik Voskanyan in his turn noted, “In Nor Hajn, for
example, open voting was a mass violation. We kept the election at
focus. Observers worked in 2 shifts. Cases of illegal filling the
ballot-boxes were not fixed.”
To note, the organization submitted the report to the CEC, yet in vain.
