Election officials accused of campaigning for Armenian ruling party

Several precinct election commission members in Yerevan have been accused of taking part in campaign activities for the ruling Civil Contract party despite laws prohibiting election officials from engaging in partisan work.

NEWS.am reported that the individuals were identified by name and photographed while participating in campaign events. The report also cited license numbers issued by the Central Election Commission, linking them to their official roles.

Armenian law bars members of precinct commissions from joining political campaigns in order to safeguard neutrality and public confidence in the electoral process. Armenia prepares for parliamentary elections on June 7.
