Constitutional Court of Armenia Upholds Parliament Election Results

ArmInfo. The Constitutional Court of Armenia has upheld the country's parliamentary election results, which were released by the Central Electoral Commission on June 14. The verdict was announced on July 4 by Arman Dilanyan, the Chairman of the Constitutional Court of Armenia.

“The decision of the Constitutional Court is final and enters into force from the moment of publication,” Dilanyan stated.

To recall, regular parliamentary elections were held in Armenia on June 7, 2026. Voter turnout stood at 58.97%. According to preliminary data from the Central Electoral Commission of Armenia, the parties entering parliament are Nikol Pashinyan's ruling "Civil Contract" party, Samvel Karapetyan's "Strong Armenia" bloc, and the "Armenia" bloc of the second president, Robert Kocharyan. The remaining candidates finished below the required threshold of 4% for parties and 8–10% for blocs. Notably, businessman Gagik Tsarukyan's "Prosperous Armenia" party lost its 4% threshold after the CEC adjusted the preliminary vote counts for the country's parliamentary elections. Consequently, the party will not enter the new parliament.

On June 19, seven political forces filed appeals with the Constitutional Court of Armenia, demanding that the results of the June 7 parliamentary elections be declared invalid. On June 21, the Constitutional Court decided to combine all cases into a single proceeding. The first session of the Constitutional Court of Armenia commenced on June 26. The final deadline for the court to issue its ruling was July 4.

It is worth noting that from early morning on election day, observers and journalists raised alarms about numerous violations in the organization of the voting process by the ruling force. As a result, Pashinyan's party now has the opportunity to single-handedly form the country's government by securing a majority of seats in the Armenian parliament. Pashinyan triumphantly announced this late at night, when data from only about 10% of polling stations had been processed.
