Observers’ freedom of movement restricted
02:24 pm | Today | Politics
Gyumri-Asparez daily and report that one of the local
election commissions is intervening with the activity of their
representative.
The Chairman of Precinct 35/39 stationed in Gyumri’s School N14
prohibits observers and media representatives from observing the
voting process more closely. Thus, they cannot see whether voters are
correctly signing the names in the registry. The Chairman orders them
to seat in the designated places without moving.
At Precinct 34/06, the representative of the newspaper witnessed
another violation when a voter was being registered for another
person. When he reported to the commission chair on the violation,
asking the latter to record the incident, the commission chair said,
“You should not direct me in my actions!”
