The test that 2018 passes
In the 2015 referendum and in earlier elections, the winner's share rose sharply where turnout was high and fell where observers were present. In 2018 My Step's share varied only between 69% and 72% across Yerevan, towns and villages, and was nearly the same among party-only and candidate votes. The Yerevan districts and provinces show the same picture in more detail.
