Yerevan, Armenia – On the morning of November 7, a diverse audience of students, civil society representatives, educators, government officials, and members of the press joined Ambassador Heffern and U.S. Embassy staff for an Election Day Breakfast event at the U.S. Embassy. Attendees watched on as live election results from the U.S. were shown on a large screen and posed for photos next to life-sized cut-outs of President Obama and Governor Romney. The event also featured informational booths on the Democratic and Republic Parties, the Electoral College, and the democratic transition of power. A mock voting booth was set up to allow the audience to cast their votes for their favorite candidate.
