Yerevan/Mediamax/. The OSCE/ODIHR Election Observation Mission to May 6 parliamentary elections in Armenia issued its first interim report, which mainly describes the election preparation process.
The first interim report says that the new Electoral Code, which was adopted in May 2011, was assessed as comprehensive and generally providing a solid framework for the conduct of democratic elections, but “there are still areas where it could benefit from improvement”.
According to the report, the number of registered voters in Armenia is around 2.5 million. Voters are able to check their records in the voter list, including on the internet.
“Several OSCE/ODIHR EOM interlocutors have raised concerns about the quality of the voter list, which according to the authorities is continuously improving,” the report says.
The report also says that political parties and candidates are actively preparing for the official campaign period, which will begin on 8 April.
