Original page on electionscount.info: Distribution of votes by turnout percentage, 2026The 2026 monitoring page lets you type any turnout figure and splits all 2,006 polling stations into two groups: above it and at or below it. For each group it shows every party's share. The share is counted from the votes for parties plus the stations' discrepancies, so it is close to, but not the same as, the official percentage.

How to read this chart
Each panel is one party; every thin bar is one polling station, sorted by turnout from 17.91% on the left to over 82% on the right. The height is the party's share of the vote at that station.
What it shows
Civil Contract (top) stays mostly between 50% and 80% across the whole range. Strong Armenia stays around 20–30% with scattered spikes. The Armenia alliance and Prosperous Armenia are low almost everywhere but have single stations with 40–70%, mostly on the right, high-turnout side.
Key to the Armenian labels: «ՔԱՂԱՔԱՑԻԱԿԱՆ ՊԱՅՄԱՆԱԳԻՐ» = Civil Contract; ՈՒԺԵՂ ՀԱՅԱՍՏԱՆ … ԴԱՇԻՆՔ = Strong Armenia alliance; «ՀԱՅԱՍՏԱՆ» … ԴԱՇԻՆՔ = Armenia alliance; «ԲԱՐԳԱՎԱԾ ՀԱՅԱՍՏԱՆ» = Prosperous Armenia.
What to make of it
In 2015 the winner's share rose steadily with turnout. In 2026 there is no steady rise: Civil Contract is a few points stronger at both the lowest- and the highest-turnout stations, and weakest in between. The pattern at the high end is concentrated in a small number of small stations, which is where the capacity check and the comparison of signatures, envelopes and ballots should be applied first. The 2026 turnout and speed table on the site does that station by station.
