Mistake found in OSCE/ODIHR report on Armenia
In OSCE/ODIHR assessment mission report on Armenia a mistake was made.
It’s said in the report that in the upcoming elections, 131 National Assembly deputies will be elected under a mixed electoral system for four-year terms. Ninety deputies will be elected under a proportional system in a nationwide constituency and a further 41 in single-mandate constituencies under a majoritarian system.
In fact, this is a serious mistake as a referendum in 2005 defined National Assembly was elected for five-year terms.
The report also states that NAM recommends the deployment of an Election Observation Mission (EOM) according to the standard OSCE/ODIHR methodology, contingent upon the receipt of an official invitation from the authorities. The EOM should include a core team of experts, 24 long-term observers and 250 short-term observers.
