    international community that people and the authorities in Nagorno
    Karabakh are united. â~@~I think, the international political
    importance of the issue must lead us to behave in a dignified way in
    the election, and vote for the worthy candidates who will form the
    future legislative power and contribute to the growing international
    reputation of the country,â~@~] mentioned the prime minister of NKR.
    The chairman of the Central Election Committee Sergey Nasibian gave

    National Assembly touching upon the future plans and problems. He
    mentioned that in accordance with the NKR Election Code 22 district
    election committees were set up which have already started operating.
    The Election Code was delivered to the relevant organizations and
    committees. The Central Election Committee worked out, confirmed and
    registered the order, forms, instructions for drawing up protocols,
    other documents were sent out to the committees, communities,
    regional administrations and agencies. The election committees have
    at their disposition the â~@~Guideâ~@~] containing the most important
    decisions of the Central Election Committee, instructions how to hold
    elections, etc. The heads of communities set up 274 polling stations
    which were confirmed by the district election committees. For the sake
    of publicity of the election the website of the NKR Central Election
    Committee was created, through which the voters can get information
    about the work of the CEC. Greater attention is paid to the precision
    of electoral registers. The electoral registers are already available
    at the central polling stations, and two days before the election the
    revised electoral registers will be sent out to the district election
    committees. In answer to the question whether the participation of
    servicemen in the polls is maintained by the law, the chairman of the
    CEC mentioned that by the Election Code the conscripts may vote by
    party tickets only, at the polling station which is in the territory of
    the military unit. The electoral register of conscripts is drawn up by
    the command of the military unit and pinned up in the military unit.
    Fifteen days before the polls the electoral register is extended to
    the district election committees. A. Nasibian added that the army
    officers will vote at the polling stations where they are registered.
    He emphasized the importance of public order, increased control at
    the polling stations by the police forces, the role of the public
    prosecutor and the courts in solving various problems which occur
    during the polls. In reference to the regular electricity supply,
    communication and transport the chairman of the Central election
    Committee said that the relevant bodies will prevent failure. To
    have a regular flow of information about polls every three hours the
    Central Election Committee and the Command of the Defence Army made
    an arrangement on using radio to communicate with remote in case
    of failure of communication. Sergey Nasibian clarified a number of
    other questions.
