9 political forces will participate in May 6 parliamentary elections
with the proportional representation and 155 candidates were nominated
in the majoritarian representation. Numerous local and international
observers will follow them like before each election.
But this time the political forces and not only wish to carry out
special control over the election processes. PAP, ARF-D and Heritage
Party have agreed to establish a united headquarters of control. They
have even signed a document for it.
RPA didn't join this initiative but it, on its part, proposed to
establish a united interstate headquarters of control.
A working group was also created by the order of the prosecutor
general to carry out prosecutorial control with the purpose of
receiving the reports on election violations, with the purpose of
registration and discussion. The speaker of the national assembly, on
his part, wants a consultation working body to be created carrying
out functions of public monitoring on the implementation of the
Electoral Code.
What will all these bodies deal with, if, of course, all of them are
finally created? They say they will carry out control. So, who are
those allowing electoral violations, if all will be controlling? Is it
possible that the voters waiting at least 5000 AMD are the violators?
Election bribe is also a violation, but usually no complaints are
received on it.
Presently, according to the political forces, voting lists may be the
reason for election violations, where names of numerous people
registered but not living are mentioned. Both the voter and the
political forces, however, know well that the voting lists are not the
only form of making election violations. At the beginning of the
election period the political forces are ready to fight against those
forms. From the first sight so many controlling eyes should create
trust towards electoral processes, but in fact all want to control all
because they don't trust each other.
