The man complained to the head of the electoral commission, who claimed there had been a “technical problem” and that another citizen “has signed on the wrong line.”
“We’ll have to check with the [Central Electoral Commission] to find out what we can do in such cases, because it’s a technical problem,” commission head Arshak Knyazyan told Epress.am.
The official, however, failed to clarify why there were signatures before the names of the resident’s family members as well: “If there’s been a violation, we’ll draw up protocol,” he said.
