“To say that the 2007 elections passed without fraud, without coerced voting and vote-buying, … would not be true.” The book begins with the lists and the turnout.

The voter lists

• In the published lists, 60,557 voters had day and month of birth recorded as zero.
• 1,923 polling stations were formed.
• Voters before election day: 2,298,931; at the end of voting: 2,319,722.
• The list changed at 1,492 stations by 71,569 in absolute terms: +46,180 at 636 stations and −25,389 at 856.
• At 49 stations there were 12,535 more participants than the station had voters before election day.

Each bar counts the stations whose turnout was above the level, with their voters.

What it shows

100% turnout was recorded at 15 stations: 7 in prisons and detention centres and 8 ordinary stations, 2,907 voters in all. Above 90%: 96 stations; above 80%: 268; above 70%: 606.

Before the vote, the book notes, large numbers joined the ruling Republican Party and the newly founded Prosperous Armenia, by statements reaching several hundred thousand, under pressure or in the hope of work and money. Many people privately said they had taken money to vote but declined to confirm it in writing for fear of prosecution.
