Voter turnout for the presidential elections in Georgia was at 15.95% by 12 p.m., the Central Election Commission (CEC) reports.
The highest activity (27,4%) was reported in Ambrolauri, Racha while voters have been most passive (12%) in Kazbegi.
“15.95% is equal to 558,755 voters. In the 2013 presidential elections, the voter turnout was 17.15% by the same time”, CEC spokeswoman Ana Mikeladze said at the briefing.
Georgia is electing its fifth president on Sunday and for the first time in the Georgian history a female candidate has a real chance to take the post.
The Georgian Dream ruling party has provided a survey which says that their supported independent presidential candidate Salome Zourabichvili will win the October 28 presidential elections in the first round.
Georgians are heading to the polls today to decide who will be the country’s fifth president. The president will be elected to a six-year term: this is also the last time the president will be elected by direct vote.
Organisations observing the presidential elections have presented a list of violations that have been reported so far at polling stations.
Two opposition parties in Georgia, the United National Movement (UNM) and European Georgia have made claims of election fabrication despite the fact that domestic and international observers say that the elections are taking place in a largely peaceful environment.
