  • NKR: Over 500 Voters Left Off The Electoral Registers

    OVER 500 VOTERS LEFT OFF THE ELECTORAL REGISTERS

    Azat Artsakh - Nagorno Karabakh Republic [NKR]
    22 June 05


    The ongoing process of development of civil society is entering a new
    stage. The turnout of voters in the capital was very high and the
    voters were highly organized. At least, this means that people trust
    the authorities and are aware of their rights. Even the omissions on
    the electoral rolls did not cause disorders, and the voters were
    determined to observe the law and overcome the obstacles. The
    omissions on the electoral rolls were corrected at the NKR Trial Court
    without wasting a second. The names of five of the nine members of a
    family were omitted in the roll; generally, the omissions were of this
    kind. A woman was indignant with the fact that being registered in the
    same election district for 40 years, her name was omitted every
    time. Another person complained that electoral registration form in
    the names of dead people had been delivered to them. The officer of
    the polling station 7/2 Alina Beglarian was filling in the special
    form for going to court for the 27th citizen. The Presiding Justice of
    the NKR Trial Court Seyran Amirkhanian told us that about 500 people
    had gone to court to defend their rights. He also pointed out the
    activity of the citizens to defend their rights, for up to the end of
    the poll people went to court. There were also people who had to leave
    the polling station without voting. Besides, it should be noted that
    the members of the election committees were too scrupulous. It is up
    to the corresponding agencies of the City Hall to work out the
    electoral rolls not to waste the time and nerves of the people.
