"Ahead of the June 7 elections, one of the most frequently raised issues in the political field is the tendency of voter passivity. The main competitors of the head of the government, Nikol Pashinyan, have been reporting in recent weeks that a significant part of the public simply does not show a desire to participate in the elections. and in the villages, and in the capital, and in large cities. According to the information of "Zhoghovurd" daily, this circumstance is considered as a key challenge in almost all opposition headquarters. According to their assessment, the low turnout of voters, especially in the example of Yerevan city, can work in favor of the current government. Let's remind that only 234,553 or 28.43% of the 824,250 citizens of Yerevan who have the right to vote participated in the voting.
This is the lowest rate ever recorded. As a result, Tigran Avinyan, who collected about 75,000 votes in the capital with a population of about one million, manages the capital. There is a widespread belief in the opposition circles that in conditions of a limited number of voters, mainly those citizens will go to the polling stations, whose participation is often connected with the influence of administrative resources. As a result, even with a relatively low percentage of participation, it is possible to form a high ratio of votes in favor of the current government, which may lead to the re-election of Nikol Pashinyan.
In the current situation, the opposition headquarters, according to the sources of Zhoghovurd daily, concentrate their main efforts on one key issue: to get as many citizens as possible out of their homes on election day and ensure their participation in the voting. According to them, it is the level of participation that will be decisive in terms of the results of the elections." Details in today's issue of "Zhoghovurd" daily.
