| ADMIN.1Election administration independenceIs the election administration body's independence (appointment by multiple branches, fixed terms, balanced political composition) codified in statute or constitution? | 1/1100.0% | Constitution Article 195 codifies CEC composition: 7 members elected by the National Assembly upon recommendation of a competent standing committee. Combined with Electoral Code Articles 41 (formation fundamentals), 43 (district commission — 6-year terms appointed by CEC), 44 (precinct commission with party representation), AM has multi-party + constitutional independence codified. | § view source 2026-05-17 |

|---|---|---|---|
| ELIG.1Age and residency in constitutionAre the minimum age and residency requirements for voting set in the constitution (rather than statute alone)? | 1/1100.0% | Electoral Code Article 2 codifies the age + citizenship requirement: 'Citizens of the Republic of Armenia having attained the age of 18 as of the day of election shall have the right to elect.' Constitution Article 7 (in v0/7.1 candidates) constitutionally frames the right of suffrage. The combination yields constitutional framing of suffrage with statutory age specification. | § view source 2026-05-17 |
| ELIG.2Disqualification frameworkIf voters can be disqualified (felony, mental incompetence), are the criteria and the duration codified in statute, with a defined restoration procedure? | 1/333.3% | Constitution Article 98 codifies Deputy power-discontinuation grounds (citizenship loss, criminal conviction). General disqualification framework of voters lives in Constitution Article 48 (loss of suffrage on court order for incapacity or imprisonment for grave crime) which wasn't FTS-surfaced here. Statutory level partially codified. | § view source 2026-05-17 |
| ELIG.3Restoration of voting rightsWhere rights are lost (e.g., post-felony), is the procedure for restoration codified, with statutory deadlines and automatic restoration where applicable? | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 191 (Human Rights Defender) is generic-rights protection, not voting-rights restoration. AM Constitution Article 48 has restoration logic (rights restored upon ending imprisonment/incapacity) but wasn't FTS-surfaced for this datapoint. | § view source 2026-05-17 |
Identification

|---|---|---|---|
| ID.1Statutory groundingIf ID is required at any point in voting, is the requirement set in statute rather than regulation? If no ID is required, is that explicit in statute? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-17 |
| ID.2Enumerated acceptable IDsAre the acceptable ID forms exhaustively enumerated in statute, not left to administrator discretion? | 1/1100.0% | Electoral Code Article 66 exhaustively enumerates the acceptable ID forms: 'an identification card, a biometric passport, a non-biometric passport, a temporary document replacing the passport or the identification card.' No administrator discretion to add other documents. | § view source 2026-05-17 |
| ID.3Free alternative IDIf government-issued ID is required, is a free state-issued ID available by statute to anyone who lacks one? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-17 |
| ID.4At-polls cure procedureIs the cure procedure for a voter who arrives without ID (provisional ballot, affidavit, return-with-ID, signature match) defined in statute? | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 66 codifies the ID requirement but does not codify a provisional-ballot/affidavit cure procedure for voters arriving without ID — if you don't present a listed ID, you cannot vote. | § view source 2026-05-17 |
| ID.5Rejection appeal procedureIs the appeal procedure for a rejected ID (or rejected provisional ballot due to ID) codified in statute? | 0.5/150.0% | Electoral Code Article 47 codifies administrative proceedings in the CEC and district commissions per the RA Law on Administrative Proceedings — generic appeal mechanism applies to ID-rejection refusals. Not a dedicated ID-rejection-appeal procedure but generally applicable. | § view source 2026-05-17 |
Registration

|---|---|---|---|
| REG.1Statutory registration deadlineIs the registration cutoff relative to election day defined by statute (not regulation or administrative directive)? | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 62 (diplomatic representations voting) and Article 45 (commission removal) — neither codifies the voter-registration cutoff relative to election day. AM has a continuously-updated Register of Electors but the specific cutoff wasn't FTS-surfaced. | § view source 2026-05-17 |
| REG.2Enumerated registration methodsAre the available registration methods (in-person, mail, online, motor-voter, automatic, same-day where applicable) exhaustively enumerated in statute? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-17 |
| REG.3Cure procedure for incomplete registrationDoes statute define a cure procedure when a registration is rejected as incomplete? | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 132 + Articles 86, 110 codify CANDIDATE-registration rejection procedures, NOT VOTER-registration cure. Wrong target. | § view source 2026-05-17 |
| REG.4Rejection challenge rightIs the voter's right to challenge a rejected or removed registration codified in statute? | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 112 codifies CANDIDATE-registration appeal procedure (not voter-registration). Article 91 covers candidate status. The voter-registration challenge mechanism lives in Article 12 of the Electoral Code which wasn't FTS-surfaced here. | § view source 2026-05-17 |
| REG.5Roll-maintenance criteria in statuteAre the criteria for removing voters from rolls (death, change of address, inactivity) defined in statute, not regulation? | 0/20.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 45 covers commission-member removal — wrong target. Roll-maintenance criteria (death, change of address) live in the AM Population Register and Article 11 of the Electoral Code, not surfaced. | § view source 2026-05-17 |
| REG.6Pre-purge notice & cure periodIs a statutory notice-and-opportunity-to-cure required before a voter is removed from the rolls? | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Same Article 45 mismatch — not roll-purge notice. AM has continuous Register sync without pre-purge notice procedure. | § view source 2026-05-17 |

| ASSIST.1Language assistance thresholdAre the triggers for language assistance (bilingual ballots, language-minority population thresholds) codified in statute? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-17 |
| ASSIST.2Disability assistanceIs the right to be assisted in voting by a person of the voter's choosing — and the rules for who may assist — codified in statute? | 0/10.0% | Constitution Article 29 prohibits discrimination including on grounds of disability. Article 65(5) of Electoral Code codifies assistance for disabled voters (with another elector's help to fill the ballot) but wasn't FTS-surfaced for this datapoint. The general anti-discrimination principle alone doesn't constitute a codified assistance procedure. | § view source 2026-05-17 |
| ASSIST.3Illiteracy assistanceIs assistance for voters who cannot read codified, with a defined procedure protecting ballot secrecy? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-17 |
