A NEW REVELATION: THE BALLOTS PUT IN A BALLOT BOX FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF ARMENIA (RPA) WERE UNSTAMPED
May 7 2013
The commission of electoral district no. 8 has finished the vote
recount in polling place no. 8/18, at the request of the Mission
Party and the Hello Yerevan Coalition. The commission put 10 out of 33
spoiled ballots to a vote to determine their validity. One ballot cast
for the RPA was found valid. Two other ballots were without a stamp,
and the commission secretary suggested that they consider them to be
invalid. However, Oleg Grigoryan, the commission chairman, did not
agree that one of the unstamped ballots was spoiled and put it to a
vote, and the commission members voted for finding the ballot valid.
"The voter is not to blame. Being guided by the principles of
humanity, we don't have a right to lose the person's vote," the
commission chairman said. 98 votes of the Prosperous Armenia Party
(PAP), 4 votes of the Mission Party, 67 votes of the Hello Yerevan
Coalition, 33 votes of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF),
and 19 votes of the Rule of Law Party (RLP) corresponded to the
numbers written by the polling place commission. By the way, there
was a ballot among the spoiled ones, on which the voter had written
"legalize marixuana." Talking about the two unstamped ballots, the
chairman of polling place no. 8/18, Bagrat Andreasyan, a member of the
Armenian National Congress (ANC), explained: "You are tired. You might
physically not be able to notice that there was no stamp. If I had
noticed, it would surely have been void. "All votes were stamped one
by one; it means that those two ballots were brought from outside....
Three people stamp. One stamp might not be visible at most, but
it is impossible that all three stamps are not visible." "Maybe,
the ink has evaporated," the electoral district commission chairman
added. Arpine SIMONYAN
