Armenia's Central Election Commission has annulled voting data from a third polling station.

The voting results at polling station 12/13, located in the village of Abovyan, have been declared invalid. If the annulment of the results at this and two other polling stations prevents Prosperous Armenia from passing the voting threshold, the Central Election Commission is obligated to hold a re-run of the vote at these stations, the lawyer stated.

As reported by the Caucasian Knot, the Strong Armenia bloc filed a petition with the Central Election Commission demanding the annulment of the results at polling station 12/13. The opposition parties Prosperous Armenia and Wings of Unity, as well as the Armenia bloc, demanded that the election commission recount the votes at 555 polling stations, and Strong Armenia demanded that the results at one of the polling stations be annulled. As a result of the recount, 140 votes were added to the Prosperous Armenia party's tally. On June 11, the Central Election Commission annulled the results at two polling stations in Armenia. As a result, Prosperous Armenia lost 213 votes.

The Civil Contract Party, led by current Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, won the country's parliamentary elections, garnering 49.81% of the vote. The victory of Pashinyan's party in the parliamentary elections presented the Kremlin as the losing side, noted Russian political scientists interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot".

Territorial Electoral Commission No. 12 invalidated the voting results at polling station 12/13, which is located in the village of Abovyan, the website of the Central Election Commission of Armenia reported.

"According to the commission's decision, on election day, the ballots of the National Democratic Pole party (No. 8 on the ballot) were missing from the polling station. The number of voters at the polling station was 809 people. This figure was recognized as the total amount of discrepancies identified," the Central Election Commission noted.

According to the commission's decision, all other indicators of the polling station protocol, with the exception of the data on the size of the discrepancies, The results of the polling station were reset. The materials on the polling station have been sent to the prosecutor's office, the statement said.

At this polling station, Strong Armenia received 71 votes, Prosperous Armenia received 9 votes, the Civil Contract party received 602 votes, and the Armenia bloc received 67 votes, according to lawyer Gohar Meloyan, a member of the Strong Armenia party.

The lawyer noted that if Prosperous Armenia fails to pass the threshold due to the annulment of the results at this and two other polling stations, the Central Election Commission, in accordance with the Electoral Code, will be obliged to schedule a re-run of the vote at these stations.

Meloyan stated that the bloc sought to invalidate the results of the vote only at polling station 12/13, since the National Democratic Pole party's ballots were missing from the station on election day, Armenia Today reports.

Party Oligarch Gagik Tsarukyan's Prosperous Armenia party, former President Robert Kocharyan's Armenia bloc, and businessman Samvel Karapetyan's Strong Armenia bloc are the most pro-Russian participants in the Armenian parliamentary elections, analysts previously noted. The parliamentary elections effectively became a referendum on the future of the current government and Armenia's foreign policy. The "Caucasian Knot" has published a report titled "2026 Elections to the National Assembly (Parliament) of Armenia".
