A pile of sealed ballot papers has been found at one of the precincts
in Ararat marz.
Narek Babayan, an observer of the Europe in Law Association, found the
pile of ballots in a separate room of Precinct 17/2. The door of the
room was left open and the observer noticed the pile when he was
passing by.
"When I tried to video record the pile I was forced off the room. The
door was immediately locked after me. Later I saw the pile taken out
of the room through the window," Narek Babayan told Media Centre.
Narine Esmayel, another observer of the Europe in Law Association,
alarmed about ballot staffing at Precinct 17/5 in Ararat marz.
However, she told the Media center that the electoral commission
refused to record the violation.
"Some 50 beasts intruded into the polling station, pressed the
observers to the wall and grasped our hands so that we could not film
the violation. Then they approached the ballot box and stuffed about
300-400 ballots into the box," the observer told the Media Centre.
"When the group left we demanded that the electoral commission
register the incident but they refused saying, "What has happened? We
did not notice anything. they wer simply mocking at us," said the
observer
