According to the "Heritage" party's bill, it is necessary to publish a list of voters after the elections.

While expressing the point of view of the ruling Armenian Republican Party, Levon Martirosyan said that voters have a right to privacy in regards as to whether they voted or not.

He added that the position is also consistent with that of the Venice Commission.

While expressing the point of view of the Armenian National Congress, Aram Manukyan said that "Secret ballots are one principle, another is secrecy of participation".
