THEY ENRICH BUDGET BY INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF PLEDGE
The RA NA adopted the draft of amendments to the RA Electoral Code in the first reading. The authors of the draft were the members of the “Republican Party of Armenian” and the “Prosperous Party of Armenia. “A1+” talked to one of the authors of the draft, Secretary of the “Republican Party of Armenia” Samvel Nikoghosyan.
- Why do you find necessary to make amendments to the RA Electoral Code today?
- The necessity to make amendments to the Electoral Code arouse after the May elections, taking into consideration the proposals of international and local observers. Some electoral commissions also pointed out the necessity of improving certain technical problems in the Code. The main proposals belong to international organizations and to the RA political powers.
-Why have you decided to allocate additional payment to the chairmen of the commissions?
-The commission should get additional payment. We also intend to raise the payment of other employees for 5 percent. It is our approach to evaluate the work of those who do not sleep for 2-3 nights. But this provision may be omitted if the political powers disapprove it.
- Do you think that the elections will be fair and transparent after these amendments?
-You are aware of the assessments on the May elections. The upcoming elections in February will be better in regard with democracy, justice and transparency.
-Why did you decide to double the mount of pledge for the candidates’ nomination?
-We introduced the financial barrier to avoid the nomination of, for example, 1500 candidates.
-This means that you want to enrich the budget on the pledge.
-Yes, I agree. If the budget spends money, gives the opportunity to broadcast the speeches of candidates free of charge, publishes ballot-papers, then all these expenditures should be paid back.
