Electoral district commission in Yerevan's Nork community refused to
review vote tallies after considering the ten applications filed by
Styopa Safaryan and Havsep Ghazaryan, representatives of presidential
candidate Raffi Hovannisian. The commission accounted its decision
for the lack of adequate grounds in the applications.
"The commission could not simply disobey the order of their superiors,"
Styopa Safaryan told A1+.
Instead, the commission decided to open the voting slips at polling
stations 2/3, 2/5 and 2/18 which were half open.
At Precinct 2/5, three of the 53 invalid ballots were considered valid
in favour of candidate Raffi Hovannisian, who garnered 344 votes at
the precinct. Another ballot was added to the votes of Serzh Sargsyan
who polled 348 votes.
Suren Martirosyan, Chairman of the election commission regularly
started a quarrel with the presentees, threatening to sue them if
they found any error or violation at his precinct or brought charges
against him.
To curb the uncontrolled behaviour of the commission chair, Gurgen
Khachatryan, Chairman of the Electoral district commission invited
police officers to establish order at the precinct.
