YEREVAN. - The numbers of voters in electoral lists will be provided both in precinct and territorial electoral commissions, Minister - Chief of Armenia Government Staff Davit Harutyunyan told journalists Wednesday after the subsequent meeting of the government, opposition and civil society representatives on the draft Electoral Code in 4+4+4 format.

It is not totally clear how the political force going to the elections can have no proxies at the polling stations, who could get hose lists immediately after voting. Nevertheless, the authorities are ready to agree to the provision of these lists also at the level of precinct commissions, he added.

Earlier, the authorities refused to provide the official post-electoral lists of voters, referring to the requirement of PACE’s Venice Commission on confidentiality. Nevertheless, they agreed to provide the proxies of political parties with the numbers of voters who took part in the elections (their names and surnames can then be restored by electoral lists). However, in order not to infringe the requirements of the Venice Commission, these documents will not be considered official.
