Election postmen to tour the country
A group of postmen will be touring the residences of Armenia to gather the questions concerning citizens and submit them to political parties.
February 1 will mark the launch of the new stage of the "Elections Postman: Parliamentary Elections 2012", which is held under the implementation of Transparency International Anti-Corruption Center's partnering "Asbarez" Journalists' Club and the Helsinki Civil Assembly Vanadzor Office.
The goal of the program is to contribute to the formation of a system of democratic and accountable management in order to engage all average voters of Armenia in the formation of the country's political agenda and to raise political parties' level of responsibility.
Citizens are offered to formulate the questions that they are concerned about, consider important and submit them to the political parties and alliances running in the 2012 parliamentary elections. They will be transferred to the addressees with the hope of seeing them reflected in their pre-electoral platforms. The more interesting questions will be selected and sent to the political figures during the television programs scheduled to air in April.
The program envisages gathering questions from 800 citizens living in 50 residential areas of Armenia.
