Five individuals have been arrested on suspicion of a vote-buying scheme allegedly involving the “Strong Armenia” bloc, authorities have announced.
The Anti-Corruption Committee said that a joint investigation with the National Security Service revealed that a precinct election commission chairperson affiliated with the “Strong Armenia” bloc abused their role in selecting election commission members and chose members who agreed to a corrupt arrangement, receiving payment for their roles in exchange for ensuring that a specific number of voters would cast their ballots for “Strong Armenia.”
