How and between whom will be distributed the mandates of Yerevan Council of Elders?

Out of the 12 participating forces, six failed to cross the threshold of 1 percent; three received a 1-2 percent vote.

As a result, the Yerevan Council of Elders will have three forces: My Step Alliance (81.06 percent), Prosperous Armenia (6, 59 percent), Luys Alliance (4.99 percent). Although the Luys alliance has not overcome the transition threshold for being included in the Council of Aldermen (8% for alliances, and 6% for parties), the provision of the legislation to which the composition of the representative body must be represented at least must be 3 political forces.
