Varuzhan Hoktanian: Voters were registered in church yard

There are problems with voter lists, the inclusion of names of
Armenian citizens absent from the country in voter lists may
contribute to multiple voting, Director of Transparency
International’s Armenian branch Varuzhan Hoktanian said at the meeting
with journalists today.

The inclusion of dead and nonexistent people’s names in voter lists
contributes to multiple voting: there have been cases when people were
registered in a church yard or a workshop of a factory.

Hoktanian stressed that both the observers and proxies of presidential
candidates should focus their attention on those electoral districts
where the likelihood of such violations is strong.

He reminded those present that although the population has officially
declined, there has been an increase in the number of voters. People
leave the country, but they remain on voter lists. One example is Lori
province where there are more voters than residents.
