Armenia's CEC insists on the absence of legal grounds for annulling the election results

No violations were committed in the preparation and conduct of the June 7 parliamentary elections that could have affected their outcome.

Deputy Chairwoman of the Central Election Commission of Armenia Nune Hovannisyan stated this. Together with CEC Chairman Vahagn Ovakimyan, she appeared today in the Constitutional Court as a defendant in the opposition's lawsuits seeking to annul the election results.

She recalled that, according to Article 101 of the Electoral Code, elections can be declared invalid only if the violations committed are so large-scale that they do not allow the CEC to conduct a realistic vote count, and the violations themselves cannot be corrected by a repeat vote at individual polling stations.
Thus, violations at individual polling stations cannot serve as grounds for annulling the election results, Hovannisyan added.
