Original page on electionscount.info: Turnout and voting speed table, 2021On 20 June 2021, 2,008 polling stations had 2,593,572 registered voters and 1,281,174 participants, a turnout of 49.40%. By 3-hour window: 316,291 voted before 11:00, 379,335 between 11:00 and 14:00, 294,346 between 14:00 and 17:00 and 291,202 after 17:00.
In 2021 no polling station registered voters faster than the 44-second limit. The closest was Kajaran's station 35/57, with 450 voters in 3 hours on two tables (48 seconds). Voting was spread more evenly through the day than in 2017 or 2018: a quarter of voters came before 11:00 and almost another quarter after 17:00.
How to read this chart
Each bar counts the polling stations whose busiest 3 hours fell in a 10-second range. Left = fast, right = slow. The red line is the 44-second limit for one registration table.
What it shows
35 stations were faster than 60 seconds and 0 faster than 44. The bulk of stations sits well to the right of the line.
Counts that went down
At 3 stations a later report showed fewer voters than an earlier one: 17/65 Gegharot (51, 73, 87, -3); 25/02 Bovadzor (102, -44, 29, 11); 34/11 Akner (125, 415, -138, 133). The four numbers are the voters in each 3-hour window; a negative number is impossible in a real count. See all such cases.
The capacity rule used here. Registering one voter at one table, checking the ID and handing out the ballot and envelope takes at least about 44 seconds. The Electoral Code (Article 64) gives each polling station at least one registration member per 1,000 voters, so a station with up to 1,000 voters is counted as having one table, up to 2,000 voters two tables. The "seconds per voter per table" figure is the station's fastest 3-hour average multiplied by its number of tables. Below 44 seconds, the reported turnout is faster than the station could physically register people.
