The Central Electoral Commission of the Republic of Armenia hosted a delegation from the OSCE/ODIHR observation mission on April 23.

CEC Chairman Vahagn Hovakimyan welcomed the guests and wished them fruitful cooperation, the commission said in a statement.

The head of the delegation, Janez Lenarčič, stated that the mission will observe all stages of the elections and will publish an interim report based on factual findings.

The OSCE/ODIHR will then issue two assessment reports: the first on the day after the elections and the second a few months later. The mission plans to deploy up to 250 short-term and 30 long-term observers across Armenia.
