YEREVAN. – The total number of eligible voters in the forthcoming constitutional referendum in the Republic of Armenia (RA) is 2,553,085, as of Monday, November 16, 2015.

The Police news service has issued a respective statement.

Hence, the total number of referendum participants who are on the RA Voters’ Register has dropped, as compared to the November 6 data, which had presented 2,554,332 eligible voters.

The referendum on Armenia’s draft constitutional amendments is slated for December 6.

Pursuant to the new draft Constitution, the country will make a transition from a semi-presidential to a parliamentary system of governance, and conduct completely proportional parliamentary elections.

The opponents of the proposed constitutional amendments, however, consider them to be primarily the authorities’ attempt to hang on to power.
