The main objective of the exercises was to reveal the key problems and gaps of the Armenian electoral system, ways to address them, as well as identify its strengths and areas for further improvements. This was achieved through a number of separate lessons learned exercises with a wide spectrum of election stakeholders: information technology (IT) experts and CEC IT department, Voter Authentication Device (VAD) operators, election commissioners, domestic observers, political party representatives, as well as through results of the focus groups.
The findings of mentioned events were presented during the final lessons learned Conference, followed by a panel discussion and a Q&A session. The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) drew a specific focus towards the discussion on comprehensive civic and voter education in-between elections.
