Police publishes preliminary lists of voters ahead of September 23 Yerevan municipal election
Police of the Republic of Armenia published today on its website the preliminary lists of the electors included in the Register of Electors eligible to vote at the elections of Yerevan Council of Elders slated for September 23.
As the Police reported in a release, the lists which can be downloaded, have been sent out to all electoral districts to be published. The Police also urges citizens to check their names and report to electoral bodies upon finding inaccuracies in the lists.
To remind, snap elections to the Yerevan Council of Elders will take place on September 23. The Civil Contract, Prosperous Armenia and Yerkir Tsirani parties have nominated Hayk Marutyan, Naira Zohrabyan and Zaruhi Postanjyan as their top candidates in the upcoming municipal elections, respectively.
Bright Armenia and Republic have fielded Justice Minister Artak Zeynalyan as their joint mayoral candidate in the elections.
The need for snap elections arose after former Mayor Taron Margaryan stepped down on 9 July amid strong public pressure. At a special session on July 16, the Council of Elders fell short of securing the necessary quorum to elect a new mayor.
