On November 27 the Central Commission for Referendum on Constitution
held a meeting in Stepanakert. The divisional commissions 8 and
22 participated in the meeting. The chair of the commission Sergey
Nasibian said the focal issue today is to hold a referendum on December
10 on a high level, and gave the members of the divisional commissions
explanations on their duties on these days. In particular, he asked
them to check once again the voting registers.
It was informed that the ballots are ready, and soon the sample
and the right way of filing in the ballot will be shown on Artsakh
Channel. The chair of the Central Commission for Referendum called
the chairs of the divisional commissions not to go to extremes and
consider the ballots as invalid if the tick is not exactly within
the space for marking but it is clear what the voter wanted to say.
During the parliamentary election last year 5000 ballots were
considered invalid for similar reasons. According to Sergey Nasibian,
the polling boots will be placed on December 9. In order to avoid
crowding inside the polling station, Sergey Nasibian proposed hanging
the voting registers outside the polling stations because the polling
stations were crowded for this reason. The voting will start at 8
o'clock on December 10. There will be observers. The chair of the
Central Commission assured that the results of the voting will be
released every three hours.
