Armenia elected its president on 18 February 2013. Seven candidates stood; the incumbent Serzh Sargsyan (Republican Party) was declared the winner in the first round, and Raffi Hovannisian (Heritage) came second. The monitoring site for this election is at elections.transparency.am/2013.

The page “Results of voting in Yerevan city” gives the full result for each of the twelve administrative districts of the capital: votes for all seven candidates, their shares of valid votes and of participants, and the invalid ballots.

How to read this chart

Each pair of bars is a district, with its turnout in brackets. Districts are sorted from the one where Hovannisian did best (bottom) to the one where Sargsyan did best (top). The dotted line marks 50%.

What it shows

• Hovannisian was ahead in Ajapnyak (48.35% to 43.51%) and Arabkir (45.76% to 43.97%), and almost level in Nor Nork and Avan.
• Sargsyan led most in the small districts of Nork-Marash (61.48%) and Nubarashen (59.84%) and in Erebuni (55.78%) and Malatia-Sebastia (54.73%).

Officially Sargsyan won the country with about 58.6%. In the capital, where a third of the voters live and observation was densest, he received less than half of the valid votes.

Invalid ballots

Malatia-Sebastia stands out: 4,754 invalid ballots, 7.91% of participants, against 5.24% for the city and 2.94% in Nubarashen. Invalid ballots are counted by hand at the end of the day, and a district with far more of them than its neighbours is worth comparing with its protocol mismatches.

Turnout in Yerevan varied between 49.74% (Kentron) and 60.68% (Nork-Marash). The district with the highest turnout gave Sargsyan his best result. For the observed and unobserved precincts of the city, see precincts with and without observers.
