RA CEC annulment of voting results at two polling stations once again  calls into question PAP`s bid for parliament

ArmInfo.At its extraordinary meeting on June 11, the Central Electoral Commission of Armenia annulled the voting results at polling stations No. 10/51 and No. 35/65 of the June 7 parliamentary elections.

"The Commission invalidated the voting results at polling station No.  10/51, located in the service area of the Electoral Commission of  Electoral District No. 10, and the voting results at polling station  No. 35/65, located in the service area of the Electoral Commission of  Electoral District No. 35," the CEC reported. 

Thus, 1,287 votes were annulled at polling station No. 10/51, and  1,315 at polling station No. 35/65. The Central Election Commission  added that the materials from polling stations No. 10/51 and No.  35/65 were sent to the prosecutor's office.

Human rights activist Ruben Melikyan has already commented on the  situation, stating that the Armenian authorities are attempting to  deprive Gagik Tsarukyan's Prosperous Armenia Party of five  parliamentary seats. "As far as I understand, five mandates were  recently stolen from the PAP. This was done by invalidating the  results of polling station 10/51, where, in my opinion, the PAP  received about 130 votes- significantly more than the average. This  isn't just a problem for the PAP. Meanwhile, Nikol Pashinyan's Civil  Contract party is restoring a 3/5 majority and gaining the power to  single-handedly appoint constitutional positions and pass  constitutional laws. This is simply disgraceful," the human rights  activist wrote.

As a reminder, regular parliamentary elections were held in Armenia  on June 7, 2026. Voter turnout was 58.97%. According to preliminary  data from the Central Election Commission of Armenia, Nikol  Pashinyan's ruling Civil Contract party, Samvel Karapetyan's Strong  Armenia bloc, and second president Robert Kocharyan's Armenia bloc  are all in parliament. The remaining candidates' results are below  the required threshold of 4% for parties and 8-10% for blocs.  Notably, businessman Gagik Tsarukyan's Prosperous Armenia Party lost  its 4% margin of victory after the Central Election Commission  adjusted the preliminary vote counts for the June 7 parliamentary  elections. As a result, the party will not be included in the new  parliament.

On election day, observers and journalists reported numerous  violations by the ruling party during the voting process from early  morning. Thus, Pashinyan's party has the opportunity to  single-handedly form the country's government by securing a majority  of seats in the Armenian parliament. This was announced solemnly by  Pashinyan himself, late at night, when data from only about 10% of  polling stations had been processed.
