EIIElection Integrity Index

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 66 codifies voter-identity verification (ID card, biometric/non-biometric passport, etc.) — voter authentication, not a public verification package. Armenia does not codify a downloadable signed verification package.

No candidate sections returned by FTS.

Article 59 codifies the ballot-paper specification: 'The sample of the ballot paper shall be established by the relevant electoral commission in such a way as to ensure secrecy of voting.' Combined with Article 61 (paper-ballot storage in safe), Article 64 (sealed-box voting), Article 68 (open paper-ballot count), Armenia mandates voter-marked paper ballots as the only voting medium.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 102 codifies the National-Assembly-election challenge mechanism — but standing is limited to candidates and parties, NOT general citizens. Article 75 codifies CEC publication of results but does not grant citizens raw precinct data for independent re-tally.

Article 60 of the Electoral Code codifies tamper-evident seals: CEC-approved samples of electoral-commission and individual-member seals, plus ballot-box seals. Reinforced by Article 61 (ballot papers, envelopes, self-adhesive stamps, and seals stored in a 'fire-resistant safe' in the voting room) and Article 64 (pre-vote sealing procedure on voting day at 7:00 in plain view of commission members). Ordinal level 2: tamper-evident seals required.

“Samples of the seals of electoral commissions and of the individual seals of”

Article 50 codifies the recount-of-voting-results mechanism: candidates, parties running in elections, candidates for community head, and proxies who were present at the summarisation may request recount. While not 'every election' automatically, the audit-by-request mechanism is statutorily codified — combined with Article 73 (district commission validity-check of all precinct protocols), creating de facto layered audit.

Article 50 codifies the recount method as a manual hand-recount of paper ballots (Armenia's voting is paper-only). Ordinal level 2: fixed-mechanism hand recount, not an RLA or comparison audit (those concepts presuppose electronic counting).

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 60 codifies physical seals on commission members, ballot boxes, and 'technical equipment' approved by the Central Electoral Commission. The 'technical equipment' refers to biometric voter-ID terminals, not voting software — and the article codifies physical sealing, not software-integrity verification.

Article 32 of the Electoral Code grants observers, mass-media representatives, and visitors comprehensive rights: presence at commission sittings, presence in the voting room, observation of voting/counting/summarisation. Reinforced by Article 30 (right of observation mission), Article 31 (accreditation procedure), Article 65 (procedure for entry into voting room).

“An observer, mass media representative, visitor shall have the right to:”

Article 30 of the Electoral Code explicitly grants observation-mission rights to '(1) international organisations and those foreign non-governmental organisations whose charter objectives include issues of democracy and protection of human rights' — international observers admitted by statutory default. Reinforced by Article 31 (accreditation procedure).

“The following shall have the right to act as observation mission during elections:”

Article 75 codifies an EXPLICIT 24-hour publication deadline: 'No later than 24 hours after the end of voting, based on the election results in the electoral precincts, received from district electoral commissions, the Central Electoral Commission shall summarise the results of elections of the National Assembly, Councils of Elders of Yerevan.' Ordinal level 5: within 24 hours.

“No later than 24 hours after the end of voting, based on the election results in”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 51 enumerates CEC functions including 'supervision over the lawful and uniform application of the Code' but doesn't codify open vote-format/device-protocol standards (none needed for paper voting).

Article 6 of the Electoral Code declares 'Voting shall be held by secret ballot. Secrecy of voting shall not only be the right, but also the responsibility of an elector. Control over the free expression of will of an elector shall be prohibited.' Reinforced by Constitution Article 7 (constitutional secret-ballot principle), Article 57 (voting room must protect secrecy), Article 1 (foundational principles).

No candidate sections returned by FTS.

Article 16 codifies a polling-place density mandate: 'The authorised body shall — no later than 45 days before the voting day — with the participation of the head of community and member of district electoral commission, form electoral precincts, taking into account local and other conditions.' Reinforced by Article 44 (precinct commission of at least 7 members per precinct) and Article 52 (district commission supervision). Each community has codified geographic distribution of precincts.
