International Society for Fair Elections and Democracy (ISFED), one of key Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO) in Georgia, says the Second Round of Parliamentary Elections is better organised than the first round.
Only 0.3 percent of polling stations were not ready to open to voters exactly at 8am this morning, when the figure for the first round of the Parliamentary Elections on October 8 was 4.2 percent,” said ISFED.
No major violations were detected at 99.5 percent of polling stations.
The NGO said 100 percent of its observers were able to monitor the electoral process without any barriers.
As of yet, the NGO’s observers made 10 remarks, wrote nine appeals to the precinct election commission and six to the district election commission regarding violations or incidences occurring at polling booths.
Most of the appeals were because of procedural violations, ISFED said.
One of the country’s leading non-governmental organisations monitoring the Second Round of Elections says the electoral process is smooth and peaceful today.
All polling stations are open to voters
Georgia’s Central Election Commission (CEC) has hosted its first information briefing announcing the opening of polling booths for today’s election runoff. Earlier today CEC spokesperson Ani Mikeladze said all polling stations for the second round of elections opened at 8am.
The second round of the Parliamentary Elections of Georgia takes place today. The election runoff will be held in 50 of Georgia’s 73 election districts. The voting process starts at 8am.
The British and the Netherlands Embassies stated today they will observe the second round of Georgia’s Parliamentary Elections on Sunday.
The Second Round of Parliamentary Elections is underway in a peaceful environment in Georgia’s penitentiary facilities where a group of inmates are casting their votes.
Hundreds of observers from one of the country’s leading non-governmental organisations says the Second Round of Parliamentary Elections are running peacefully in Georgia.
