CEC IS READY
The deputy chair of the Central Election Commission Abram
Bakhchagulyan stated February 18, the day before the voting, in a
news conference at the Friday Club that the CEC is ready for the
presidential election, has fulfilled the functions vested in it by
the law and has no problems.
Abram Bakhchagulyan stated that all the ballots have been taken to
the polling stations by the cars of Armincassatia. The number of
printed ballots is the number of voters plus three percent, as
required by the law. Abram Bakhchagulyan says the number of voters is
about 2, 328, 500. There are about 18-19 thousand voters on the
so-called additional registers of voters who asked to vote in a
polling station other than their place of residence. The number of
people who are getting in-patient treatment and want to vote is 2500.
Abram Bakhchagulyan also said the turnout information, as well as the
information on count of votes will be released once in three hours,
in accordance with the law. The first release of information on the
count of votes will be at 9 pm, an hour after the start of count of
votes. In 24 hours after the end of voting, that is at 8 pm, the CEC
must release the preliminary results. The final result will be
released seven days after the election because over those seven days
the candidates can dispute the outcome and demand a recount of votes.
The records and seals of the local election commissions should be
submitted to the CEC within 24 hours by the cars of Armincassatia,
and all the documents should be taken to the CEC under police
surveillance. The outcome of the election loses legal validity if
obstacles affect the outcome.
