YEREVAN. - Considering the fact that earlier in the day total apathy could be observed among the Armenian population towards the elections, today’s activeness during the elections is simply unprecedented.

Deputy candidate of Free Democrats Party, Styopa Safaryan, said the aforementioned Sunday.

He noted that during the vote counting, electricity went out at at least two polling stations. In several polling stations the proxies had to sit on the ballot boxes to rule out fraud.

During the day reports were received on the non-operation of the equipment, including cameras, ensuring the election process. Many voters came to the polling stations with “accompanying persons,” who “guided” the voters. “This was a very well-thought process for carrying out fraud,” he noted.

Referring to the overcrowding at polling stations, he noted that considering the number of citizens absent from the country, the voter turnout was anomalous.

Apart from this, Safaryan said that if before incidents occurred at polling stations and scuffles were registered, this time the authorities carried out the fraud more smoothly and discreetly, this being expressed in voter bribing, voter “accompanying”, as well as overcrowding of voters at polling stations.
