In general, the regulation of the voting and counting operations in Chapters 11 and 12 details every step of the operations. Article 53.8 requires “sound evidence” for recounting the voting results of electoral precincts or if the examination of the protocols has left the constituency electoral commission “uncertain”. It is unclear what “sound evidence” and “uncertain” refer to. According to the clarifications received from the Ministry of Justice, “sound evidence” in the context of the Armenian legal system implies that a justification is required to ask for a recount. If these terms and their assessment are clear within the context of the Armenian legal system, it is fine, but they should refer to an objective standard that is understood and shared by all election officials and the stakeholders.
