58.97% of eligible voters cast ballots in Armenia’s June 7 parliamentary election.
The most active voters were those aged 50-65, with a turnout of 62%.
But the participation rates of young people also refute the notion that they were “indifferent.” Those aged 35-50 were relatively passive, with a turnout of 56%. The same picture was also seen in the 2021 parliamentary snap election. Then, too, voters aged 50-65 participated most actively in the elections, with 55%, while those aged 30-50 were somewhat passive with 45%.
Hetq studied the data provided by Armenia’s Central Election Commission (CEC), relating to the turnout rates of voters in the 2021 and 2026 parliamentary elections, according to gender, age, and region.
In all of Armenia’s provinces, more than 50% of voters aged 18-35 participated in the June 7, 2026 election. Only in Gegharkunik did 50% of voters in that age group participate in the election; 50% did not. Armavir came in second place in terms of passivity, with 54% participating. The most active were voters aged 18-35 in Vayots Dzor and Kotayk, registering 61% and 62% participation, respectively.
For comparison, in the 2021 election the turnout rate in four provinces (Lori, Gegharkunik, Armavir, Shirak) did not exceed 50%, while in the 2026 election all provinces surpassed that threshold.
CEC data shows that women led in terms of participation in the 35-50 and 50-65 age groups, while men led in the 18-35 and over-65 age groups.
56% of women aged 18-35 participated in the election, and 59% of men In the 35-50 age group, 58% of women and 54% of men cast ballots.
In the June 7 election, 1,147,732 men and 1,337,492 women had the right to vote. 59% of men and 58% of women exercised that right.
