In terms of the quality of the election day conduct and, more significantly, the entire election process, 2020 parliamentary elections are the worst among the elections that CRTA observed thus far – the CRTA’s election observation mission concluded. CRTA’s mission monitored the election day in parliamentary elections at the random representative sample of 500 polls, which ensured the assessment and reporting on regularity of the election conduct for all polling stations.
Considering the still ongoing assessment of the quality of the election process, as well as the currently processed 87 percent of the monitoring sample, CRTA unequivocally concludes that only three electoral lists passed the census:
By 7pm election irregularities were recorded at a total of five percent of polling stations, which is higher than the percentage of irregularities than in 2016 parliamentary and 2017 presidential elections.
According to the CRTA’s election observation mission, a total of 45,5 percent of citizens registered in the voters list have voted in parliamentary elections until 7pm. Margin of error was +/- 1,1 percent.
