Armenia’s Constitutional Court (CC) has rejected the applications of the Strong Armenia and Armenia alliances and the Wings of Unity, Democracy Law Discipline, Prosperous Armenia, Alliance of Defenders of Democracy for the Republic, and the New Force parties that had disputed the results of the June 7 parliamentary election.

At its June 14 session, Armenia’s Central Election Commission (CEC), summing up the final election results, decided that three political forces had entered parliament - Civil Contract  party (64 mandates), Strong Armenia alliance (29 mandates), and the Armenia alliance (12 mandates).

The CEC invalidated the voting results of three polling stations: No. 12/13, 20/51 and 35/65. Thus, the Prosperous Armenia party was effectively deprived of its mandates. The party needed 4% of the votes cast  to enter parliament, but in the end it received 3.9893%. The party would have overcome the passing threshold if the CEC had not invalidated the results of three polling stations.

Representatives of opposition political forces who filed an application with the Constitutional Court argued that the CEC’s decisions to invalidate the results of the polling stations had a significant impact, therefore, re-runs should have been scheduled in those polling stations, which the CEC did not do.
