The Central Election Commission (CEC) has reported a 29.36 percent voter turnout (as of 2.00 pm) in the ongoing City Council elections in Yerevan.

CEC spokesperson Tatevik Ohanyan told ArmeniaNow the turnout (Yerevan officially has 771,477 eligible voters) is similar to that during the 2008 presidential election.
