NO CANDIDATE HAS BEEN NOMINATED

Politics

The nomination for the 2008 presidential elections has launched today. Under the recent amendments to the Electoral Code, neither a political initiative nor an alliance can propose a president. A presidential contender must be either self-nominated or proposed by a party.

According to the EC amendments, nominees are to pay 8 million AMD election deposit instead of the former 5 million AMD.

The pre-election fund was not changed although the authors of the amendments were eager to raise it to 140 mln drams instead of 70 mln drams.

Immediately after the poll electors’ passports will be stamped to prevent double ballot.

According to our data, no presidential nominee has been proposed today.

To note, the deadline for the nomination expires December 6.
