The Council of Europe (CoE) will allocate a grant worth €40,000 to support the educational project initiated by Georgia’s Central Election Commission (CEC).
The project titled Election Environment Development School will give Georgian youth the opportunity to undergo a course and gain knowledge on all types of electoral issues.
The CEC believed the project would increase civil engagement and contribute to the promotion of electoral issues among Georgia's youth.
The CEC also said the agency planned to provide more support to boost the CEC's functional and managerial capabilities for the upcoming October 8 Parliamentary Elections and and future elections.
Georgia’s Central Election Commission (CEC) says 14 parties have addressed the agency to undergo mandatory registration for the upcoming October Parliamentary Elections.
There are 185 days left before Georgian citizens can vote for who they want to run the country. The date for Georgia’s Parliamentary Elections has been set for October 8, 2016.
The authority in charge of the 2014 municipal elections is working hard to create an equal electoral environment for all voters including those with disabilities.

The country’s leading non-governmental organisation Transparency International Georgia (TI Georgia) has accused oppositional party United National Movement (UNM) of attempting to buy votes for the upcoming Parliamentary Elections.
