    Armenian Police denies "artificial" rise in number of voters


    Yerevan, 30 March: Armenian Police described as groundless the claims
    about the artificial increase of the number of voters.

    The statement issued by Police says that the register of 18 February
    2008 presidential elections included 2,311,917 voters.

    As of 15 February 2012, 2,482,000 citizens (170,083 more) are included
    into the register of voters to take part in 6 May parliamentary
    elections.

    Police said that the growth of the number of voters is conditioned by
    the fact that after 19 February 2008, 185,236 citizens became 18 years
    old, and other 174,378 citizens were added into the voter register
    after 18 February 2008.

    Police also stressed that 188,626 voters have been removed from the
    register after 18 February [as received, actually 19 February] 2008
    presidential elections. They either died or were taken off the books.

    "Thus, after 19 February 2008 elections, as of 15 February 2012, the
    qualitative difference between those who have been withdrawn from the
    register and included into it, corresponds to the real situation," the
    statement issued by Police reads.
