Parliament rejects bill on introduction of amendments to RA Election Code

PanARMENIAN.Net - The bill submitted by Heritage party was supported by Heritage parliamentary group and ARF Dashnaktsutyun and defeated by the ruling coalition is stipulating for equal number of representatives of authorities and opposition in the election committees. It also offers not to raise ad tariffs during election campaigns and to publish the lists of voters after the elections.

As PanARMENIAN.Net parliamentary correspondent reports, the NA commission gave a negative conclusion on the bill. “It’s inexpedient to put the bill on the NA floor unless it’s discussed by all parliamentary groups,” member of the committee on state and legal issues Artyusha Shahbazyan said.

According to RA Justice Minister Gevorg Danielyan, publication of the list of voters after the elections conflicts with the Constitutional Court’s decision on secret ballot.
