CENTRAL ELECTORAL COMMITTEE MAKES A STATEMENT
Dear colleagues, Hereby we make our explanations concerning several statements made by Orinats Yerkir Party (OYeK) on May 16 through mass media. OYeK said it did not collect any single vote in 400 precincts. In one of the precincts, OYeK got 123 votes more after recounting. Please be advised that the number of the mentioned votes went up not during recounting. Instead, during data entry of the final results, CEC deputy chairman noticed the number of OYeK votes in the protocol and entered the data into the computer. Yesterday Hovanes Margaryan, candidate in election community 33 and member of OYeK, also made announcements through media. The candidate complained that the recounting is too slow saying 5 hour norm per one precinct is violated. Please be reminded that according to the Armenian Election Code, the recounting started on May 14, 9:00 and ended on May 17, 14:00. Generally, it took three and half working day or 28 hours. During one working day, 5 precincts were checked based on the application of the candidates on proportional contest and 9 other majoritarian contests were recounted with each precinct taking 3.1 hour time. Voting results did not change after recounting. Please be advised that the voting results did not undergo any major changes in all 7 election community with applications filed.
