Strong Armenia: Administrative Court not providing judicial decisions  to citizens wishing to vote in parliamentary elections

ArmInfo. The Administrative Court of Armenia is not providing judicial decisions to citizens wishing to  vote in the Republic's parliamentary elections. Shiraz Manukyan, a member of the "Strong Armenia" party, reported this on his Facebook page.

Essentially, as the party member noted, these people have been  deprived of the right to vote. "Citizens are reporting that the  Administrative Court is not providing them with judicial decisions  for various reasons.  This all suggests that the current Armenian  authorities are using every tool at their disposal to deprive  citizens of their right to vote," Manukyan concluded. Parliamentary  elections are taking place in Armenia on June 7. At 8:00 a.m. local  time, 2,500 polling stations opened across the country. Most are  equipped with surveillance cameras. According to the Migration  Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Armenia, just over 2.5  million citizens are eligible to vote. Turnout as of 2:00 p.m. was  48.92%.

Eighteen political forces - two blocs and 16 parties - are  participating in the elections. Among the favorites are the Civil  Contract party of incumbent Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, the  Strong Armenia bloc of businessman Samvel Karapetyan, the Armenia  bloc of second President Robert Kocharyan, and the Prosperous Armenia  party of businessman Gagik Tsarukyan. Since early morning, observers  and journalists have reported numerous violations during the voting  process.
