RA CEC: Election results will be announced on June 14; results can be  appealed in court on June 19

ArmInfo.The final results of the parliamentary elections in Armenia will be announced on June 14, and five days later, the opposition, if it wishes, can appeal them to the Constitutional Court. This was stated by Vahagn Hovakimyan, head of the Central Election Commission, on Armenia Public Television.

He said that the CEC will conduct recounts by the end of the week,  and then evaluate complaints and applications.

"And the final results will be announced on June 14th. According to  the Electoral Code, there will be a five-day break, and on the fifth  day, it will be possible to appeal to the Constitutional Court. So,  we'll summarize the results on June 14th. June 19th is the day when  the political forces that participated in the elections will be able  to appeal to the Constitutional Court. If they appeal, we'll go to  the Constitutional Court for discussions. Further actions will be  dictated by the court," Hovakimyan said.

He said that after filing a complaint with the Constitutional Court,  it must be reviewed within 15 days. If the parties don't go to court,  the next step after the results are announced will be the awarding of  mandates to the parties. He also noted that even if the opposition  doesn't win mandates, parliament will still convene on August 2nd.  According to him, otherwise, after each election, the dissatisfied  party might refuse to distribute mandates, leading to endless  electoral cycles in the country. "The opposition can do whatever it  wants. Armenia is a free country. The constitution simply doesn't  provide for such cases; the parliamentary regulations clearly  stipulate political boycotts and so on," he 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 are all 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% margin of  victory after the Central Election Commission adjusted the  preliminary vote counts for the June 7 parliamentary elections. As a  result, the party will not be included in the new parliament.

On election day, observers and journalists reported numerous  violations by the ruling party during the voting process from early  morning. Thus, Pashinyan's party has the opportunity to  single-handedly form the country's government by securing a majority  of seats in the Armenian parliament. This was announced solemnly by  Pashinyan himself, late at night, when data from only about 10% of  polling stations had been processed.
