OBSERVERS WORKING IN VAIN
Support A1+!Yesterday during a special sitting the Central Electoral Committee adopted a package of proposals of “It’s Your Choice” NGO. The package provides for concretization of responsibility, that is, if an observer makes a violation, not the organization he represents but he himself will be called to account.
By another proposal the right of moving within the polling station should not belong to one observing organization but to all the observers.
This time “It’s Your Choice” organization observed the election to the local self-government in 98 polling stations in Kotayk, Ararat, Vayots Dzor and Syunik. By their assessments, the election that could seem peaceful but it is not the evidence of conscious choice of the voters.
As Chairman Harutyun Hambartsumyan says, new violations were fixed along with the old ones.
Vice Chair Khachik Voskanyan in his turn noted, “In Nor Hajn, for example, open voting was a mass violation. We kept the election at focus. Observers worked in 2 shifts. Cases of illegal filling the ballot-boxes were not fixed.”
To note, the organization submitted the report to the CEC, yet in vain.
