YEREVAN, JANUARY 24, NOYAN TAPAN. According to the schedule of
preparation and holding of the main events of the February 19
presidential elections, 1923 polling station commissions are to be
formed on January 24-27.
Commissions’ chairmen, vice-chairmen, and secretaries will be elected
at their January 28 first sitting.
The authority of formation of polling station commissions is reserved
for the higher district electoral commissions, each of members
of which appoints one member of the respective polling station
commission. Like CEC and district electoral commissions, the polling
station commissions are to consist of eight members. In case of not
being formed in the established term the vacancies of polling station
commissions will be taken by the chairmen of the respective district
electoral commissions in a three-day term. The citizens having the
suffrage, who have passed professional courses of holding elections
by the order established by CEC, can be included in the electoral
commissions. In difference to CEC and district electoral commissions
working permanently, polling station commissions are formed before
the elections, in the term established by the Electoral Code and the
powers are stopped 14 days after the voting day.
