Mandates distributed among parties set to receive them by Electoral Code – CEC chairman
There is no institute of rejection of mandates in this phase, chairman of the Central Election Commission Tigran Mukuchyan said, asked whether new early elections will be conducted if “Armenia” and “I Have the Honor” blocs refuse to take mandates.
“The mandates are being distributed exclusively among the parties that are to get these mandates in accordance with the Electoral Code. No other forces can receive the mandates instead of them,” he noted.
As to whether it does not mechanically lead to conduction of new early elections, the CEC chairman could not give a clear answer.
“In this phase we do not have fixed institute of rejection of mandates,” Mukuchyan said.
