Paragraph 94
 

Article 59.1 provides for individual ballot papers for each contestant in parliamentary elections, to be given to the voter in a pile. The reason behind introducing this feature seems to be to address concerns in previous elections that ballots were sorted into incorrect piles during the count. However, given the novelty of this procedure to Armenian elections, the introduction of separate ballots for each electoral contestant and the use of voting passes certifying receipt of the ballot should be carefully considered so as to avoid potential confusion among voters.
