An observer from the Civil Society Institute NGO has fixed several
cases of violation at the 17/01 polling station in Artashat, where 2
people simultaneously voted in the polling booth without being
registered in accordance with the established procedure.
In one of the cases the daughter proved to help her mother to vote.
The observer was also told that at the same polling station mirrors
were fastened to the wall of the polling booth, which breaks the
secrecy of the voters' ballot. Through the mediation of international
observers, the chairman of the commission covered the mirrors. At the
22/15 polling station, the observer noticed that some voters were
going to the polling station accompanied by a woman. After voting, the
voters, accompanied by the same woman, came up to a car parked 100m
from the polling station, where the woman made some notes and the
voters went away. At the 34/30 polling station in Gyumri, the observer
noticed that the candidates' proxies had no identification documents.
The proxies say that they could not pierce their jackets to fasten the
badges.
The district administration of Nor Nork calls the citizens and forces
them to go to the polls. Iditord says that the citizens receive the
calls not to their home telephones but mobiles ones. At the 03/03
polling station located in the building of School No.84 in
Kanaker-Zeytun district, the school headmaster Arkady Eloyan has an
observer's certificate though he is not authorized by any NGO. Eloyan
received CIS observers Konstantin Bannikov and Viktor Krivopuskov in
his room, gave them a treat, afterwards Krivopuskov presented the
headmaster with his book, bagratyanpresident.am says.
The observer from the Civil Society Institute NGO points out that the
1/08 polling station in Yerevan has been crowded for 20 minutes. The
chairman of the commission is standing and smoking and does not
control the situation. Two people simultaneously were voting near the
polling booth. The hotline 080 080 804 has received a signal saying
that the stamp ink in the passports evaporated 2 hours after the
voting. According to another signal, at the 8/05, 8/06 and 8/07
polling stations of Yerevan, an observer noticed that a citizen was
voting outside the polling station, in a car.
One more signal came from a citizen saying that open and multiple
voting is held in Getazat village of Ararat region. Another signal
came from an observer saying that at the 17/2 and 17/3 polling
stations the chairman of the commission isolated the observers and
cases of multiple voting were registered at the 17/7 polling station.
At one of the polling stations of Lukashin village of Armavir region
the members of the commission are standing next to the voters and
watch whom they are voting for. The observer also noticed that at the
34/27 polling station in Gyumri, a proxy is sitting very close to one
of the polling booths and trying to watch whom the voters are voting
for.
To note, the 6th presidential election in the history of independent
post-Soviet Armenia kicked off on February 18 at 8:00am local time.
