YEREVAN. – Chairman of the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) of Armenia, Tigran Mukuchyan, worked very professionally and within the law.

Head of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia National Assembly Faction (RPA NA), Vahram Baghdasaryan, on Monday told the abovementioned to reporters at the NA.

“He still has not publicized the final results [of the referendum on constitutional amendments], and he solely informed about the preliminary data of the election precincts,” Baghdasaryan noted. “He also will announce the [final] results within the deadlines set, [and] again within the law.”

On Monday morning, CEC Chairman Tigran Mukuchyan announced that according to preliminary data, 825,851 people—or 63.35 percent of voters—said “yes,” whereas 421,600 people—or 32.35 percent—said “no” to the proposed amendments.

The referendum on Armenia’s constitutional amendments was conducted on Sunday.

Following the independence of Armenia in 1991, the Constitution was adopted on July 5, 1995, which is marked as Constitution Day.

The Constitution was amended in 2005, and the country switched from a presidential to a semi-presidential system of governance.

And pursuant to the currently proposed amendments, the country will make a transition from a semi-presidential to a parliamentary system of governance, and conduct completely proportional parliamentary elections.
