They feel like guests
Support A1+!The main electoral violation in the Nor Nork quarter district, as well as around the city, were the imitation clusters of people and the cases of bringing people to the polling stations in buses, minibuses and cars.
"It seems as though the precinct is their home and we are all guests," said Armenian National Congress proxy of the polling station located at #135 School Karine Elazyan to "A1+". She said that she saw how they were bringing people and even showing them how to vote right in front of her eyes.
This time they were mainly bringing men. "I didn't imagine that there are 85-90-year old men who have enough awareness to barely make it here and vote."
Mrs. Elazyan said that a poor-sighted woman asked a Republican Party commission member to help her vote for #3 on the ballot and how the Republican told her that he would vote for her.
When the ANC proxy told the commission president about those violations, the latter responded: "They are the elderly. Shouldn't we help them? If you want, you can bring people from outside."
Karine Elazyan said that she was calling people from outside to help the voters. We noticed groups of youth implementing observatory missions, for instance, we saw youth from the "AIDS Prevention Association" NGO. However, when we asked them to present us with a certificate or membership card, they said that they didn't have anything.
"I will have one in the next couple of days," said observer Gurgen Hakobjanyan. Although the latter was "an observer", he was the one coordinating the work of the commission members at the polling station, while the ANC proxy was smoking outside and telling us that everything was fine.
In some polling stations, we witnessed women holding posters and writing down who had come to vote from the building and the district. According to witnesses, they were "Prosperous Armenia" members.
