YEREVAN, MAY 25, ARMENPRESS. The Armenian Parliament completely adopted the Electoral Code at third reading. As “Armenpress” reports, 102 MPs voted for, 17 against the Electoral Code. 3 MPs abstained from voting.  

Before the voting head of the ANC faction Levon Zurabyan delivered a speech: “We note that the Electoral Code with this format does not resolve the OSCE/ODIHR proposals, it does not resolve the issues raised by the civil society and the opposition political forces. That’s why we will vote against the draft, however, we hope that a wide consensus will eventually take place over the Electoral Code”, Zurabyan said.

MP Hrant Bagratyan also stated that he will vote against the Electoral Code.
