Original page on electionscount.info: Turnout and voting speed table (choose the year with the buttons)Gegharkunik Province is one of the 13 electoral districts of the Electoral Code. The charts and tables below use every polling station of the district from the site's turnout tables for the three parliamentary elections.
How to read this chart
Each dot is one polling station in one year: orange 2017, blue 2018, green 2021. Left to right: turnout. Bottom to top: how many seconds per voter per registration table the station needed in its busiest 3 hours, so lower means faster. Dots below the red line voted faster than one table can register people.
What it shows
In 2017 Gegharkunik had 44 stations with turnout of 75% or more, the most of any district, and 8 above capacity, including the town of Gavar (553 voters in 3 hours on two tables).

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.
