YEREVAN. – The Electoral Code of Armenia is biased, presidential contender, non-party affiliate epos specialist Vardan Sedrakyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am, commenting on the possibility of launching administrative proceedings against him.   

“They are doing [this] in full compliance with the law, but it is simply biased. When we give a political context to it, they immediately show the Electoral Code. But when during class hours they take the schoolchildren to the campaign at [the ruling Republican Party’s presidential contender, incumbent President] Serzh Sargsyan’s meeting, that is normal. That electoral code is biased,” Sedrakyan noted.

He added that the Central Electoral Commission will make the final assessment Friday with respect to the matter of launching administrative proceedings against him.          

To note, the aforesaid proceedings could be launched against Vardan Sedrakyan on the grounds that his campaign posters do not include any information on their client, printing company, and print-run, which the Electoral Code requires. In addition, the code specifies the precise areas where these posters can be placed, and violations were recorded in this respect, too.
