Central Election Commission reports violations during by-elections

Central Election Commission has reported violations at several election stations.

Spokeswoman Ana Mikeladze said observers and members of political party have taken voters’ ID cards and wrote down their data, which is a violation.

The Commission Spokeswoman has also reminded the voters they have no obligation to hand over ID cards to anyone at a polling station except to election commission staff.

She also added observers are authorized to observe the voting process, but they should not prevent the commission members from working.

The opposition has also claimed that violations at various polling stations have taken place, while the ruling party claims the elections are underway in a peaceful environment and without violations.
