The election runoff on October 30 decided the outcome of one third of the total seats in the 150 seat unicameral Parliament of Georgia.

The second round of Georgia’s Parliamentary Elections was held in 50 of Georgia’s 73 election districts yesterday.

A second round of vote was needed in these districts as no majoritarian candidates gained enough votes to enter Parliament in the first election on October 8. 

To enter Parliament candidates needed to win at least 50 percent of all votes in their respective voting district.
