ArmInfo. The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) of Armenia and the Human Rights Defender's (Ombudsman) Office have released updates regarding calls received and violations recorded during the parliamentary elections.
According to the MIA, as of 2:00 PM on June 7, a total of 29 messages were received via the 112 emergency line and the 87-67 hotline. "Six cases of double voting and five cases of violating the secrecy of the ballot have been registered, with the relevant documents forwarded to the investigative body. Six individuals have been detained. Additionally, 121 reports of alleged legal violations are currently undergoing verification. Election-related publications in the press and on social media are also being reviewed," the Ministry stated.
The Ministry further reported on the activities of the MIA Migration and Citizenship Service: 1,326 individuals applied to be included in supplemental voter lists. 752 individuals received temporary identity documents issued by municipalities to enable voting. The Service's dedicated call center (84-22) handled 820 inquiries regarding the organization and execution of the elections. 316 citizens received direct consultations at the regional departments of the Migration and Citizenship Service and via mobile MIA service centers.
Meanwhile, the Ombudsman's Office announced that as of 3:00 PM on election day, its dedicated hotline had received 59 calls concerning human rights issues within the electoral process. Fifteen matters falling strictly within the Defender's jurisdiction were successfully resolved with the Ombudsman's support, while the remaining inquiries fell outside the office's mandate. Additionally, staff from the Ombudsman's Office reviewed 170 publications across mass media and social media platforms during this period.
"The notifications received primarily concerned the absence of personal data from voter registries, voting procedures, the accessibility of polling stations, the exercise of electoral rights by persons with disabilities, and the voting rights of individuals undergoing inpatient medical treatment. Queries also covered the voting rights of citizens registered in other municipalities or lacking any permanent registration, as well as matters relating to criminal proceedings initiated during the day. Citizens were provided with comprehensive consultations, and where necessary, immediate clarifications were requested from the competent authorities," the statement concluded.
The Human Rights Defender's staff continues to monitor issues related to the protection of human rights during the electoral process. Complaints and notifications regarding electoral rights can be sent to the Defender by calling the hotline at 116 or (096) 116 100. Issues registered during the day will be summarized and reviewed in accordance with the established procedure.
