NKR Central Electoral Commission drafted amendments to the Electoral
Code, considering the shortcomings of the previous parliamentary
elections and proposals of the international and local observers. The
chair of the CEC Sergey Nasibian says the NKR government approved
the draft, which will be presented to the National Assembly. "The
amendments are many. They are not related to the upcoming presidential
election but are intended to improve the Electoral Code to make
it comply with the European standards. The observers and the media
will have greater authority to cover and control the process from the
nomination to counting of votes. The media will have the right to take
photographs all through the process," said Sergey Nasibian. According
to him, the election will be held 50 days after the president abdicates
power. The National Assembly will appoint the day 100 days before the
voting day. The exact date will be set in one of the upcoming meetings
of parliament. The CEC is presently getting the exact number of the
citizens of NKR abroad. They will be able to vote in the legations
of Nagorno Karabakh abroad.
