Oppositionist: There can be no trust if key part of electoral process  remains shadowy and hidden

ArmInfo.  During the elections, approximately 80,000 passports were not identified by the appropriate devices, and another 17,000 voters cast ballots from closed lists that were not subject to public scrutiny. This represents  approximately 100,000 votes for which questions remain (8-9%). This  was written on his Facebook page by Shiraz Manukyan, a member of the  Strong Armenia party.  

According to him, it was this discrepancy that determined the fate  of the authorities. "When a government is formed amid so many doubts,  it can no longer present itself as the bearer of the indisputable  will of the people. Legitimacy is only the result of public trust.  And there can be no trust if a key part of the electoral process  remains shadowy and hidden.

"The concentration of soldiers at polling stations, the large number  of unidentified passports, and voting by closed lists all combine to  create a picture that, rather than dispelling, reinforces suspicions  of election fraud. This is precisely why the government today faces  the challenge of justifying its own legitimacy, rather than political  competition. The louder his pronouncements, the more obvious the main  question becomes: if everything were transparent and fair, then why  are questions about approximately 100,000 votes still unanswered?" he  noted.
