YEREVAN.- Armenia’s Chairman of the Central Electoral Commission Tigran Mukuchyan introduced on Tuesday a new type of ink that will be used during the presidential elections. Thus, according to him, the problem of “disappearing” ink, which emerged during the parliamentary elections in 2012, will be solved.

The new ink imported from the UK, is to prevent fraud attempts and to serve as a confidence-building measure between the government and voters.

“We were impressed by the determination of the Armenian Central Electoral Commission to hold presidential elections with as few violations as possible,” said one of the members of the ICES observer mission Baruch Ben Neria.

“Using the new ink is a step in the right direction. I hope that in the future Armenia will weigh up possibility of abandoning use of the ink in the elections, as most of the developed countries do. There are other, more advanced methods, which should be studied and integrated.”

According to him, the country which has chosen a European way of development, should implement the most advanced techniques used in the world voting experience, Armenian News-NEWS.am was informed at ICES mission.
