Representative of ARF Dashnaktsutyun Armen Rustamyan voiced concern over the large number of voters who have already cast their ballots in the parliamentary elections.

According to him, the specified number of 1300 117 approximately equals to the total number of those who voted during 2007 parliamentary elections.

Rustamyan believes that if current voting rates are maintained, the turnout may hit 1.6 mln people by end of voting, which “causes some concerns”.

Dashnaktsutyun member said when they spoke about inflated voter lists they feared this may become a mechanism for repeated voting.
