ArmInfo.  The preliminary investigation into the criminal case on violation of voting secrecy has been completed. This was stated in a statement by the Investigative Committee. According to the source, during the preliminary investigation of the criminal case, conducted by the Main Department for Investigation of Particularly Important Cases of the Investigative Committee, clear factual evidence was obtained that A.Kh., while participating in the regular elections to the National Assembly on June 7, 2026, at polling station No. 17/66, for selfish purposes photographed the moment his Armenia party ballot was cast, showing his vote result. Then, the day after the vote, he sent the photo to A.S., thereby providing him with information about his vote results. A.S., having received the photo with A.Kh.'s voting results, checked his vote results, thereby violating the secrecy of the vote.

Against A.Kh. A criminal case was opened against A.S. under Part 1 of Article 215 of the Criminal Code (violation of voting secrecy), and against A.S. under Part 2 of Article 215 (checking a voter's ballot for the purpose of violating voting secrecy). The criminal case, along with the indictment, was sent to the supervisory authority with a petition for its approval and referral to the court for consideration on the merits.
