Talk:2021 Armenian parliamentary election

Infobox

I was under the presumption that Infobox legislative election was used when there were too many parties to list in Infobox election as they have a limit of 9 parties, like 2019 Danish general election and 2021 Israeli legislative election. Would it not be better to use Infobox election as there are only 3 parties present in the current infobox Lochglasgowstrathyre (talk) 19:04, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

There's no specific criteria for when to use it (infobox election is used on many articles where there are well over nine parties). The main thing is consistency within an article series. Number 57 19:31, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Anna Grigoryan

Dear Darwwin, giving a "seat" to Hayastan alliance in infobox is OR and circular logic. Anna Grigoryan having defected to Kocharyan's extra-parliamentary block does not mean that Hayastan alliance "has a seat" in current parliament. Nothing about that seat on Anna Grigoryan's official parliamentary page - it says անկուսակցական (does not represent a political faction): http://parliament.am/deputies.php?sel=details&ID=1425&lang=arm Cheers --Armatura (talk) 13:04, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Seats distribution incorrect

I Have Honor Alliance did not win 7 seats as you claim as it is not a political party (threshold 5%) but rather an electoral alliance (threshold 7%). So in fact. By obtaining less than 7%, it did not win any seats at all. Please verify werldwayd (talk) 09:36, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

I stand corrected. Yes the threshold is still 7% for alliances, but the electoral law says if there are less than three parties and alliances, the third party or alliance will be represented despite not passing the threshold. werldwayd (talk) 06:11, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Lede

Alsoriano97 The background section looks good, I would only recommend expanding the lead by shortening this Pashinyan faced continuous calls for his resignation and mass rallies calling for him to step down.[5] On 25 February 2021, the Chief of the General Staff of the Armenian Armed Forces Onik Gasparyan and more than 40 other top-ranking generals demanded Pashinyan's resignation in what he described as a coup attempt, causing a political crisis that ended with Gasparyan's dismissal.[6] On 25 April 2021, Pashinyan announced his formal resignation, prompting the dissolution of the National Assembly and the call for early elections on 20 June of that year.[7] into two sentences. --Vacant0 (talk) 13:30, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

• @Vacant0: Take a look at it now and see what you think. Thanks! _-_Alsoriano97 (talk) 13:45, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Looks good, thank you! --Vacant0 (talk) 13:46, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

I've forgotten to mention that results and aftermath are also needed in the introduction. --Vacant0 (talk) 15:47, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

• @Vacant0: Fixed. Maybe now we have made it? _-_Alsoriano97 (talk) 16:15, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

I have rewritten it to include as much information as possible, sections below have to get expanded. --Vacant0 (talk) 16:32, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Seats repartition inside Alliances

Does anyone know how many seats got the parties inside the two alliances who obtained seats? We had this info last election, but I can't seem to find it now, and there's quite the language barrier.--Aréat (talk) 06:11, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

@Aréat: I guess it will appear here when the parliament takes office. Are you sure the figures on fr.wiki for the last election are right? According to the parliament website shortly after the 2018 elections, within the My Step Alliance, Civil Contract had 54 members after taking office, four were from Mission, 29 were independents and one was from 'Powerful Homeland'. Cheers, Number 57 17:26, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. Yeah, I'm pretty confident. I had spent a lot of time unto that page back then. The post election page having all these independents point to it being accurate as to how the deputies eventually registered, not the actual election results. as for the slight inconsistencies, in Armenia deputies have to resign from their seat once members of the governement, with it going to the next in line in the elected list, which mean some seats moving around when it's a common list of different parties.--Aréat (talk) 19:24, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Mighty Homeland Party?

Under the list of participating political forces, the "Mighty Homeland Party" is listed as participating with Civil Contract. However, I can't seem to find any information on/about this party, who it's leader is, or if they did in fact participate under Civil Contract's electoral list. Does anyone know anything about this party or can anyone confirm their participation? Much appreciated, Archives908 (talk) 15:14, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Final results

According to the official website of the National Assembly, the final (and current) results for the "I Have Honor" bloc is 6 seats. I also thought it was 7, however, Zakaryan Ishkhan withdrew from the bloc and is an MP not included in any faction (despite being a member of the Homeland Party). The grand total of MP's remains correct at 107. The image depicting seats, however, is wrong and will need updating. Archives908 (talk) 01:30, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

That's the numbers when the assembly held its first session, while we're showing the result of the election. Members leaving the "I Have Honor" bloc after the election doesn't mean it didn't win those seats at the election. The previous, sourced numbers should be reinstated.--Aréat (talk) 02:29, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Yes, Aréat is correct. The election result was 7 seats. The fact that he left the bloc after the election does not change the result. Cheers, Number 57 10:45, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
