During the presidential elections the 116 hot line of the Ombudsman's
Office received 255 calls. "Pastinfo.am" was informed from the Office
of Ombudsman.
According to the same source, in 43 cases the citizens needed legal
consultancy; they received that and were able to resolve the issue.
52 calls did not constitute a violation of human rights or no single
fact of election violation was shown.
Concerning the ink of the stamps in the passports 68 citizens called
to the Office of Ombudsman. Ombudsman will present his observation
and suggestion in written and public form to CEC.
38 calls concerned the inconsistencies in the election lists. Several
of them were presented to Police for the corrections in the election
lists.
20 calls were about the technical issues, drifting and other violations
of the election process. They were given special guidelines and
consultancy how to record the problems and how to present them to
the appropriate precinct committees.
9 people with special needs complained against the accessibility of
the voting. Summing up the achievements of the past and expectation
of future rapid transformation, the Ombudsman will interact with the
Ministry of Territorial Administration and community leaders.
The other 25 calls concerned election bribes, double voting and other
criminal actions. Ombudsman gives special importance to the complete
and objective investigation and revealing of the election crimes.
Tomorrow, after receiving the permission of the people who called,
Ombudsman will present the information about the violation to the
Police and public. Ombudsman is sure: "Even the full disclosure
of those 25 cases or their real convincing refutation can have an
extremely positive effect on the restoration of justice, establishing
public confidence, as well as for the prevention of such crimes.
Therefore, a continuous work should be done. It is necessary to
identify and punish al the perpetrators."
