YEREVAN.- Armenia's Chairman of the Central Electoral Commission
Tigran Mukuchyan introduced on Tuesday a new type of ink that will be
used during the presidential elections. Thus, according to him, the
problem of "disappearing" ink, which emerged during the parliamentary
elections in 2012, will be solved.
The new ink imported from the UK, is to prevent fraud attempts and
to serve as a confidence-building measure between the government
and voters.
"We were impressed by the determination of the Armenian Central
Electoral Commission to hold presidential elections with as few
violations as possible," said one of the members of the ICES observer
mission Baruch Ben Neria.
"Using the new ink is a step in the right direction. I hope that in
the future Armenia will weigh up possibility of abandoning use of the
ink in the elections, as most of the developed countries do. There are
other, more advanced methods, which should be studied and integrated."
According to him, the country which has chosen a European way of
development, should implement the most advanced techniques used in
the world voting experience, Armenian News-NEWS.am was informed at
ICES mission.
