Presidential elections were held in Armenia on 2 March 2018.[1] As a result of the 2015 Armenian constitutional referendum, this was the first time in Armenia's history when the president was elected by the National Assembly instead of popular vote.[2] Another outcome of the referendum was that the newly elected president will perform a ceremonial role as the country is currently transitioning from a semi-presidential system to a parliamentary republic.[3] Incumbent president Serzh Sargsyan was barred by the Constitution of Armenia from running for a third consecutive term.[4] Armen Sarkissian ran unopposed due to no other party nominating a candidate and easily won the election in the first round with 90 electoral votes.[1]
