Before January 21st the Central Electoral Commission of Armenia will
officially register the candidates for RA presidency. No one has
officially registered until now. Instead, the CEC has registered
five local organizations that will observe the elections. The OSCE
Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR)
has also applied to carry out an observation mission.
The number of voters in Armenia has decreased with 7,805. To remind,
the number of electors during the parliamentary elections of May 2007
was 2,319,722.
According to the registry of the Passport and Visa Department of RA
Police submitted to the CEC, the number of voters currently totals
2,311,917.
Press Secretary of the Central Electoral Commission Tatev Ohanyan
told Radiolur that 1,923 polling stations have been created in the
republic, 442 of which will operate in Yerevan, the rest will be
opened in marzes. The number of the polling stations was the same
during the previous elections.
The CEC is currently considering the documents, and in case any
shortcomings are revealed, the candidate will be given 48 hours to
correct these.
