MPs absent from extraordinary sitting for adoption of amended Electoral Code from ARF-D faction
The amended Electoral Code was expected to be adopted today. It was submitted for discussion and later for voting at the initiative of Tsarukyan faction.
Because of the absence of two MPs from ARF-D faction the voting for the bill failed. MPs Andranik Karapetyan and Romik Manukyan from ARF-D faction did not attend the voting.
The Electoral Code is a constitutional law and for its adoption 2/3 of MPs must back it (63 MPs).
The bill failed with 62 for and 2 against votes.
