Nearly 2.5 million Armenians are eligible to vote in Sunday's parliamentary elections, which are being described as a test for incumbent Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's more pro-Western policies.
His party is the favorite to win. On the challenger side is billionaire Samvel Karapetian, who has warned about the country's current direction and emphasized the importance of Russia as the country's most important remaining ally.
The Kremlin has been accused of trying to influence the election through disinformation.
The vote is being monitored by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), which has election observers on site. Polling stations in the country close at 6 p.m. local time in Sweden and preliminary results are expected on Monday, according to AP.
