Strong Armenia bloc member points out discrepancy between number of  voters before and during country`s parliamentary elections

ArmInfo. Legal expert Gohar Meloyan, a member of the "Strong Armenia" bloc, pointed out a  discrepancy between the number of voters before and during the regular parliamentary elections in Armenia on June 7.

In this regard, on her Facebook page, Meloyan presented data from the  Migration and Citizenship Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs  of Armenia from February 11 to May 31, 2026, and compared it with  data presented by the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) the day  after the elections. The "Strong Armenia" bloc member noted that  according to data from February 11, 2026, the number of citizens  eligible to vote was 2,489,031. "On May 23, this number was  2,473,445, and on May 31, 2,485,224. According to the Central  Election Commission protocol, the total number of voters was  2,507,216," Meloyan noted.

As the legal expert explained, using official sources, they uncovered  689 addresses where between 20 and 303 citizens were registered. The  "Strong Armenia" bloc member stated in this regard that they are  currently taking steps to document and reverse illegal interference  in the electoral process. "Armenians, thank you for your love and  courage. You are truly steadfast and strong. Even under such  pressure, you demonstrated your will. We are now trying to reverse  the consequences of the illegal interference recorded," Meloyan  concluded.

As a reminder, 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 have secured  seats in parliament. The remaining candidates scored below the  required threshold of 4% for parties and 8-10% for blocs. Notably,  businessman Gagik Tsarukyan's Prosperous Armenia party lost its 4%  threshold after the Central Election Commission adjusted preliminary  vote counts for the country's parliamentary elections. Therefore, the  party will not enter the new parliament. It should be noted that from  early morning on election day, observers and journalists reported  numerous violations by the ruling party during the voting process.  Thus, Pashinyan's party has the opportunity to single- handedly form  the country's government by securing a majority of seats in Armenia's  parliament. Pashinyan solemnly announced this late at night, when  data from only about 10% of polling stations had been processed.
