    Today with 84 votes in favor, 2 against and no abstentions the Armenian
    parliamentarians in the last reading adopted the amendments to the
    Election Code. Thus the law will come into force since the moment
    President Kocharyan signs it.

    According to the amended Election Code 90 out of 131 deputies will
    be elected by party rolls. Earlier the number was 75. The authority
    of the empowered persons of the candidates has been expanded and they
    will be rendered the right to participate in the poll.

    It is known already that according to the law, the Central Election
    Committee as well as other election committees consisting of 9 members
    will be formed till July 1. Parties presented in the parliament,
    Justice bloc and People's Deputy group will have the right to appoint
    one member of each committee. Besides Robert Kocharyan and the Court
    of Cassations are empowered to appoint one member of the committees
    as well.

    To note, after the elections the People's Deputy group's right of
    appointing its committee members will be conveyed to the council of
    court chairmen.
