Ombudsman to appoint Garegin Azaryan?
The Ombudsman's Office has finished receiving applications to participate in the contest for a candidate in the Central Electoral Commission.
The office received applications from 22 applicants of which only 18 have moved on to the interview stage. The remaining four didn't move on to the interview stage because their work experience didn't correspond to the demands prescribed by the law or because they hadn't presented the adequate information about that.
According to the press release posted on the Ombudsman's official website, among the candidates that moved on to the second stage are President of the Central Electoral Commission Garegin Azaryan and Commission member Arbam Bakhchagulyan. Let us remind that according to the Electoral Code, out of the seven members of the Central Electoral Commission, the President of the Republic of Armenia appoints three by the proposal of the Ombudsman.
The participants of the second stage are invited to an interview at the Ombudsman's Office on July 6 and 7.
The results of the contest will be announced on July 9. The deadline for presenting the names of the CEC members to the RA President prescribed by the law is July 10.
