🇦🇲🇷🇺Armenia’s parliament has passed a new law raising the requirements for citizens living abroad to vote in national elections, following concerns over alleged efforts to influence last month’s parliamentary vote through Armenian citizens residing in Russia.

● Under the new rules, Armenian citizens must have lived in Armenia for at least half of the previous two years, measured 48 days before election day, in order to cast a ballot.

● For snap elections, the qualification period will be calculated from 28 days before the vote.
