Within the framework of the criminal case brought up at the Special Investigative Service, the prosecutor's office opened the packet stolen from the 8/01 polling station, which was open just like the packet of the 8/05 polling station. This means that the packet that was closed and stamped with all ballots, lists, valid and invalid ballots and envelopes was opened before it made it to the prosecutor's office.

The investigators registered this and started recounting the votes. The alarm from this polling station referred to the ballot-box stuffing. "A1+" asked the CEC representative if it was possible to find out if there had been stuffing or not and the CEC representative said no.

There were few errors during the recount with only three envelopes out of the 1573 envelopes that didn't correspond to the sample. But the number of envelopes proved that there was stuffing at the polling station because there were 100 envelopes more than the signatures registered in the register. The report included 1480 signatures, but after the recount at the prosecutor's office it turned into 1477 and the envelopes were 1570.

It turned out that the ballots and reports corresponded in this polling station after the recount. Among those present during the recount was head of the "Heritage" party administration, MP Anahit Bakhshyan, yet there were no European observers or representatives of other parties. There were also no experts from the national center of experts; however there were more CEC authorized representatives. The recount was completed by three investigators and eight experts from the CEC.
