BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 16. The Deputy
Chairman of the Central Election Commission (CEC) of Azerbaijan,
Rovzat Gasimov, has proposed to dissolve precinct election
commissions at 36 polling stations following the recent
extraordinary parliamentary election, Trend reports.
Gasimov made the proposal during today's CEC meeting.
He highlighted that over 1,500 posts on social media had been
reviewed, revealing concerns about the influence on voter
intentions in Azerbaijan.
"We aim to demonstrate that no one is interfering with the will
of the voters in Azerbaijan. Our investigations have led us to
believe that certain measures are necessary. Doubts have arisen
regarding the voting results at some polling points. There is a
need to annul the election results in these areas. The results at
these stations should be deemed invalid," Gasimov stated.
To note, on September 1, the snap parliamentary election was
held in Azerbaijan.
A total of 112,749 local observers were registered to observe
the election. More than 65,000 of them were representatives of
political parties. The number of registered international observers
was 598, representing 51 organizations and 69 countries.
Out of 990 registered candidates in the parliamentary election,
305 are representatives of 25 political parties. Even though 371
candidates were affiliated with political parties, their respective
parties did not nominate them. There were 676 candidates who were
affiliated with a political party.
