The CEC Central Election Commission (CEC) has called for the abolition of special passport stamps that are meant to prevent fraudulent multiple voting in elections held in Armenia, it emerged on Thursday.
Under the Armenian Electoral Code amended last year, election officials have to put ink stamps on voters' passports at polling stations. Those are supposed to remain visible for at least 12 hours.
However, the stamps routinely faded or disappeared altogether within minutes during voting in the May 6 parliamentary elections, sparking opposition allegations of foul play. Opposition leaders claimed that this was done deliberately to enable Armenians that support or were bribed by the ruling Republican Party (HHK) to vote in two or more polling stations.
