Armenian parliamentary election, 2017

Parliamentary elections will be held in Armenia on 2 April 2017. They will be the first elections after the constitutional referendum in 2015 that approved reforms to become a parliamentary republic.

At the time of the previous elections in 2012, the National Assembly had 131 seats, of which 41 were elected in single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting and 90 elected by proportional representation in a single nationwide constituency with an electoral threshold of 5%. However, a referendum in December 2015 approved constitutional amendments reducing the number of seats in the National Assembly to 101, all of which will be elected by proportional representation.

On December 12, 2016 three opposition parties (Civil Contract, Bright Armenia, and Republic) signed a memorandum of joint political activity, which includes joining forces to become a electoral bloc in the 2017 parliamentary election and Yerevan Council election. According to the memorandum, the parties will strive for a "European model of the democratic, rule-of-law and social state" in Armenia and are strongly committed to the country’s sovereignty.
