RA CEC receives 555 requests for vote recount at Armenia  parliamentary election results

ArmInfo. The Central Electoral Commission has summarized the information on requests for recounts of  votes received by election commissions - 555 requests for recounts have been received.

According to a message from the CEC press service received by  ArmInfo, the deadline for submitting requests for recounts expired on  June 9 at 11:00 AM. "Of the 38 electoral commissions, 21 have not  received a single request for a recount. Seventeen electoral  commissions received a total of 30 requests from representatives and  candidates of the Prosperous Armenia Party, the Wings of Unity Party,  and the Armenia bloc. A total of 555 requests for recounts of the  precinct election results were received. The electoral commissions  will summarize the received requests at their meetings convened at  12:00, and information on which precincts will undergo a recount will  be published on the CEC website," the Central Election Commission  stated.

It added that the electoral commissions did not receive any requests  to annul the results of the vote at a polling station.

As a reminder, regular 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 all entered 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 the  preliminary vote counts for the June 7 parliamentary elections.  Therefore, the party will not enter the new parliament.

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 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.
