    The electoral processes and elections are not over right after the
    election day, they demand permanent and consistent attention, Artur
    Sakunts, human rights activist and Chairman of the Helsinki Citizens'
    Assembly -Vanadzor (HCAV), said at a press conference on Friday. He
    presented the finding of the monitoring conducted by the HCAV Office
    in 64 electoral districts in Yerevan, Vanadzor, Gyumri, Ijevan,
    as well as in the communities Vahagn and Lernapat of Lori region.

    "The May 6 parliamentary elections were not fair or transparent. The
    election results do not satisfy the voters' expectations. After the
    elections, the voters' distrust and disappointment in the electoral
    process increased", he said. Sakunts said that empty envelopes were
    found in the ballot boxes during the vote count, which once again
    proves that the elections were not transparent. He also pointed out
    that the mechanism of carousel voting was launched.

    In the meantime, Sakunts said that, in general, the observers qualified
    the work of the district electoral commissions as good.
