YEREVAN. – Armenia’s Central Electoral Commission has submitted to the National Assembly (NA) a memorandum which proposes the lifting of the legislative requirement to stamp the voters’ identification documents during elections. As is known, this requirement was carried out in the May 6 parliamentary elections and it caused great discontent, Chorrord Inknishkhanutyun (CI) daily reports.                          

“To note, even though these stamps were to evaporate in twelve hours, they had faded away in minutes. And, in this connection, the opposition had announced on numerous occasions that this was done to carry out election fraud.

According to CI’s information, the [opposition bloc] Armenian National Congress [NA] Faction is now preparing a legislative document, whereby it proposes to use the finger inking mechanism to rule out multiple voting during elections,” Chorrord Inknishkhanutyun writes.
