Three Heritage Party MPs have introduced a bill in the Armenian
Parliament that would discipline any MP who votes in the place of
another.
Zaruhie Postanjyan, Rubik Hakobyan and Tevan Poghosyan have proposed
changes to the National Assembly's Procedural Code that they hope will
minimize such voting practices and maximize transparency of what
exactly takes place in the halls of the legislature.
If passed, MPs who vote in the stead of absent colleagues would be
regarded as having violated procedural norms, and could be subject to
a variety of disciplinary actions including being issued a warning,
being removed from chambers for up to six days, and being deprived
from addressing a parliament session.
