ASHOT ABOVIAN AND KAREN POLADIAN TO BE APPOINTED MEMBERS OF CENTRAL
ELECTORAL COMMISSION FROM COUNCIL OF CHAIRMEN OF RA COURTS
YEREVAN, JULY 20, NOYAN TAPAN. Ashot Abovian, a member of the current
commission, as well as Karen Poladian, the Head of the Summerization
Administration of the Judicial Practice of the Judicial Department,
will be included in the newly-composed Central Electoral Commission,
which will assume its competences from August 6 by the decision
of the Council of the Chairmen of the RA Courts. This information
was provided to a Noyan Tapan correspondent by Alina Yengoyan, the
Spokeswoman of the RA Court of Appeal.
It should be mentioned that the Central Electoral Commission will be
composed of eight members, in difference to the current CEC, which has
nine members. The change of contingent and the bodies composing the
commission is connected with the results of the May 12 parliamentary
elections, as well as with the demand of the Electoral Code. In
particular, the United Working and "National Unity" parties, as well
as the "Ardarutiun" (Justice) Alliance, which did not surpass the 5%
threshold in the latest parliamentarian elections, have been deprived
of the right for having representatives in the Central Electoral
Commission. According to the Electoral Code, the competence for
appointing one member of the "Democratic MP" parliamentarian group
of the National Assembly of the previous convocation has passed to
the Council of the Chairmen of the RA Courts, as a result of which
two judicial servants will be included in the new structure of the
commission instead of the current one.
The RA President and the five parties, which have factions in the
National Assembly: the RPA, the ARF Dashnaktsutiun, the Orinats Yerkir
(Country of Law), the Bargavatch Hayastan (Prosperous Armenia), and,
finally, the Zharangutiun (Heritage) parties, are entitled to appoint
one member each in the Central Electoral Commission. The Bargavatch
Hayastan and Zharangutiun parties will have their representatives in
the CEC for the first time.
