E-voting for Armenian presidential hopefuls gets under way
20:12 - 09.02.13
Armenia's Central Election Commission (CEC) began Saturday morning an
online voting for the candidates contesting the February 18
presidential election.
The system is designed to address the needs of the Armenian diplomats
and their families residing abroad.
The e-voting will last five days, with the results expected to go
public five hours after the process is over, CEC President Tigran
Mukuchyan told Tert.am.
The procedure allows a person to change the voting result several
times, but the software counts only the final vote.
`Because diplomats and consules, and the Armenian citizens who are
members of their families vote via the Internet, the new electronic
voting offers them a unique opportunity to access the system several
times to enable him- in case of attempt to oversee the process - to
change the vote by typing his login and password,' Mukuchyan said.
The online voting system was launched in Armenia during the 2012
parliamentary election. The e-voter register contained 238 names then.
