The umbrella election monitoring body, comprised of the ANC,
Prosperous Armenia and ARF, has released a statement calling on
government agencies and international observers to focus their
attention on the widespread problem of disappearing ink stamps
registered in passports of those who have already cast ballots.
Hetq has published reports about the problem from several polling
stations throughout Armenia.
The statement claims that because large numbers of voters were being
transported to polling stations soon after they opened at 8am this
leads one to conclude that the `disappearing ink stamps’ were
intentional so that voters could come back a few hours later and cast
another vote.
