How can the “I have Honor” Alliance get mandates in the Parliament without gaining 7% of votes?

Article 95 of the Electoral Code defines the summary of the results of the National Assembly elections.

Iravaban.net reports that, according to Paragraph 4 of the article,

Mandates of the National Assembly shall be distributed among the electoral lists of those political parties (alliances of political parties) which have received 5 per cent, in case of a political party, and 7 per cent, in case of an alliance of political parties, of ballot papers with affirmative vote out of the sum of the total number of ballot papers with affirmative vote and the number of inaccuracies

Where less than 3 political parties (alliances of political parties) have received at least 5 (7) per cent of ballot papers with affirmative vote out of the sum of the total number of ballot papers with affirmative vote and the number of inaccuracies, 3 political parties and alliances of political parties having received the maximum number of ballot papers with affirmative vote shall participate in the distribution of mandates.

According to the latest data published by the Central Electoral Commission on June 21, at 10 o’clock ․

  • “Civil Contract” Party – 53-92%
  • Armenia Alliance – 21․4%
  • “I have Honor” Alliance – 5․23%

It turns out that the third force is the “I have Honor” Alliance, regardless of the fact that as an alliance it did not get the necessary 7% of votes, but received the most votes, it will pass to the parliament.

Notably, according to the same article:

Mandates of the National Assembly shall be distributed among political parties (alliances of political parties) in proportion with the number of ballot papers with affirmative vote cast in favour of each of them. The calculation of the number of mandates available for each political party (alliance of political parties) shall be carried out as follows: the number of ballot papers with affirmative vote cast in favour of each political party (alliance of political parties) shall be multiplied by 101, the product shall be divided by the total number of ballot papers with affirmative vote cast in favour of political parties (alliance of political parties) having passed the threshold, and integer numbers shall be parted, which shall be the numbers of mandates available for each political party (alliance of political parties).

The mandates remaining from 101 mandates shall be distributed among political parties (alliances of political parties) by the sequence of value of remainders, by the principle of one mandate to each. In case the values of remainders are equal, the contested mandate shall be given to the political party (alliance of political parties) with the highest number of ballot papers with affirmative vote cast in favour, and in the event of a tie, the mandate shall be given by drawing of lots
