Out of the 8 political parties participating in the parliamentary elections, 5, including Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK), "Heritage" Party, the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK), the Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaktsutyun (ARF-D) and "Country of Law" Party (OEK) will post advertisements on billboards exceeding 5 square meters. These political parties had submitted applications to the Central Electoral Commission in advance.


Overall, Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) will have the most advertisements nationwide, followed by the HHK with 100, OEK with 64, "Heritage" with 50 and the ARF-D with 38.


In some cases, several parties had submitted applications for posting an advertisement on the same billboard. For these cases, the CEC decided to distribute the signs equally through a raffle.


The companies providing advertisement signs are obliged to sign contracts with the mentioned political parties before April 6.


Won't monitor


The CEC today denied the applications that three non-governmental organizations submitted to monitor the May 6 parliamentary elections, including "Humans and Rights" NGO, "Women's Resource of Meghri" and EKGA Youth NGO. The explanation was that the key issues of human rights and the rule of law are not mentioned in the organizations' charters, which is a mandatory condition in accordance with the RA Electoral Code.


The election campaign will officially kick off on April 6 and will end on May 4.
