The amendments of 30 June 2016, which will enter into force only if funding for new technologies is secured before 1 September 2016, introduce important changes to the system of voter registration. According to the amended version of Article 9.1 of the Electoral Code, citizens without an identification card or not registered to receive an identification card, shall not be included in the voter lists, except for the specific cases defined in the Electoral Code. This change has the potential to address long-standing concerns about impersonating voters de facto abroad. Should this provision enter into force, care must be taken to avoid disenfranchisement of eligible voters residing in Armenia who have not applied for identification cards.
