"Haykakan Zhamanak": Dead scientist Fadey Sargsyan to take part in the parliamentary elections.

Voters’ lists are going to be a “fascinating” feature of the forthcoming parliamentary elections in Armenia.

The official number of voters is increasing as rapidly as emigration is reducing the country’s population. If things go on like this, the number of voters will soon exceed Armenia’s population.

What is the reason for the increasing number of voters? First, persons who turn 18 are added to the lists, whereas dead people are not struck off. Of course, the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) is the first to benefit from this – inaccurate voter lists afford ample opportunities for election rigging.

The persons including dead people’s names in the voters lists stop at nothing. For example, Fadey Sargsyan, a renowned scientist, who died on January 10, 2010, is “taking part in the voting” in election district #10.
