PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS UNDER MAJORITY SYSTEM IN 36TH ELECTION
DISTRICT IN ARMENIA MUST BE VOIDED
YEREVAN, June 29. /ARKA/. The parliamentary elections in Armenia
under the majority system in the 36th election district must be
voided due to numerous violations in the course of elections, Sevak
Saghatelyan, lawyer and representative of the declarant, appealing
against the election results in this election district, reported at
the sitting of the Constitutional Court on Friday.
`The mass violations, committed in the course of elections, call the
justice of elections in question, and are a proper ground for voiding
the election results,' he said.
According to Saghatelyan, protocols of divisional election committees
testify to mass violations. In particular, the information about the
number of ballots and ballot envelopes provided for election
committees, as well as the information about the number of voters
mismatch. He said that the number of inaccuracies in one of the 36th
election district's polling stations alone totaled 697, and the total
number of inaccuracies in polling stations makes 2 to 129.
`A total of inaccuracies in the 36th election district amounts to
1441 that exceeds the difference of votes cast for deputy nominees
who won the first and second places. This is at least doubtful,'
Saghatelyan reported.
The parliamentary elections in Armenia were held on May 12. Non-party
Mkhitar Varaghyan won the elections in the 36th election district. He
collected about 14.8ths votes. His contenders Musheg Petrosyan and
Musheg Saghatelyan collected 13,600 and 7,100 votes respectively.
Musheg Saghatelyan submitted the application for voiding the decision
of the 36th election district's committee `On approval of the results
of the parliamentary elections under the majority system'. R.O. -0--
