It seems that several local election committees have gone ahead with a re-examination of vote counts in scores of polling precincts without notifying Raffi Hovannisian’s campaign headquarters in advance. 

Even though such a re-examination was requested by Hovannisian himself, the committees are conducting the investigation without the presence of reporters, observers and Heritage Party confidants as prescribed by the RA Electoral Code. 

Thus, the entire process makes no sense, according to Hovannisian’s campaign HQ, arguing that the required oversight is lacking. 

The candidate has called on the Central Electoral Commission to intervene and put a halt to the process
