Observers' freedom of movement restricted
Gyumri-Asparez daily and www.asparez.am report that one of the local election commissions is intervening with the activity of their representative.
The Chairman of Precinct 35/39 stationed in Gyumri's School N14 prohibits observers and media representatives from observing the voting process more closely. Thus, they cannot see whether voters are correctly signing the names in the registry. The Chairman orders them to seat in the designated places without moving.
At Precinct 34/06, the representative of the newspaper witnessed another violation when a voter was being registered for another person. When he reported to the commission chair on the violation, asking the latter to record the incident, the commission chair said, "You should not direct me in my actions!"
