YEREVAN. – As of Sunday 2:30pm, the Investigative Committee of Armenia received 13 reports which apparently contain elements of voting rights’ violation, which is a Criminal Code offense.

By and large, these reports are with respect to attempting to vote more than once, open voting, and obstructing the work of proxies and journalists during the National Assembly election on Sunday, the committee informed Armenian News-NEWS.am.

The necessary actions are taken to inspect the said reports.

Armenia is holding a parliamentary election Sunday for the first time since the new Constitution was approved through a referendum in December 2015. The new National Assembly will have 105 deputies, four of whom—representatives of ethnic minorities.

A total of 2,009 election precincts are open all through the country. This voting will be the only national one in the next five years, as Armenia is transitioning to a parliamentary republic.

Five political parties and four blocs are running for parliament. Political parties have to get 5 percent of votes, whereas the blocs need 7 percent to be elected to the National Assembly of Armenia.
