YEREVAN. - The entire opposition and civil sector of Armenia are for the publication of post-election voter lists.

Chairman of the Armenian National Congress (ANC) faction Levon Zurabyan stated the aforementioned in the parliament on Saturday at the 4+4+4 format discussion of the draft Electoral Code of Armenia (4 representatives from authorities, opposition and civil society). 

No legal act of Armenia bans the promulgation of those lists. The only reference the Armenian Government makes is to the decision of the Council of Europe Venice Commission. But this decision is only of consultation character, he added.

Apart from this, the republic has no other political power or NGO besides the authorities, which would protect the confidentiality of voter lists.

Thus, it turns out that the authorities want to protect the confidential voting of the citizens, but instead they protect the right which nobody wants to protect. Moreover, the opposition and the civil society demand the opposite, i.e. to publish these lists, he added.
