VOTE 2013: 2.5 MILLION ELIGIBLE VOTERS – 200,000 INCREASE OVER 2008
VOTE 2013 | 29.01.13 | 12:24
According to figures released today by ROA Police, 2,507,004 citizens
are eligible to vote in the February 18 Presidential Election.
The numbers are disputed by members of Armenia’s opposition parties,
who say that the figure is exaggerated and does not correspond to the
much-publicized trend of migration that the country has experienced
for nearly two decades.
Critics of the ruling authorities charge that the total is part of a
scheme to rig the vote in favor of incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan.
By comparison, in 2008, a total of 2,312,945 voters were declared
eligible.
