Armenia’s Investigative Committee has brought criminal charges against two individuals over an alleged violation of ballot secrecy during the June 7, 2026 parliamentary elections.
According to investigators, a voter identified as A.H. photographed himself placing a ballot for the Armenia Alliance into an electoral envelope at polling station No. 17/66, allegedly for personal gain.
On June 8, the voter sent the photograph to another individual, identified as A.S., who subsequently checked his electoral choice, the Investigative Committee said.
A.H. faces prosecution under Part 1 of Article 215 of Armenia’s Criminal Code for violating ballot secrecy. A.S. has been charged under Part 2 of the same article for checking a voter’s completed ballot with the intention of breaching ballot secrecy.
The preliminary investigation has been completed, and the case materials and indictment have been forwarded to the supervising prosecutor.
