Strong Armenia supporter detained for attempting to vote twice

The Investigative Committee has reported that at 08:19, at polling station No. 20/56 in the Gegharkunik Province, a supporter of Samvel Karapetyan’s Strong Armenia Alliance, identified only as A.S., attempted to vote twice. When he tried to, however, the ballot machine printed a receipt with the words ‘attempted double voting’ after which A.S. was arrested.
