Four more political forces that participated in Armenia’s June 7 parliamentary elections have filed applications with the Constitutional Court challenging the election results.
The appeals were submitted by the Prosperous Armenia Party, the Wings of Unity Party, the Democracy, Law and Discipline Party, and the Armenia Alliance. The parties are seeking the annulment of the election results.
Earlier, on June 19, the Strong Armenia Alliance also applied to the Constitutional Court, requesting either the annulment of the election results or the holding of a second round of elections.
The Constitutional Court said it will decide on the admissibility of the applications within two days of their submission during a procedural session.
If the applications are accepted for consideration, a reporting judge will be appointed to prepare the cases for examination. Disputes concerning the results of National Assembly elections are reviewed through oral proceedings.
Under Armenian law, the Constitutional Court is required to examine the case and issue a ruling no later than 15 days after the application is filed.
