The Georgian Central Election Commission (CEC) has become the first country in the Eastern Partnership (EaP) to receive the international standard ISO 9001:2015 for election management.
CEC writes that on May 28, 2019, they successfully went through the certification audit, conducted by the members of German certification agency Tuv Suddeutchland Ag (Tuv Sud).
The results of the audit have confirmed that the management system of the CEC of Georgia is in compliance with the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 international standard,” CEC reports.
CEC released the copy of the certificate.
CEC says that they have been working with the Management System, an organisation which is an official partner of the Tuv Sud in Georgia since September 2018, to comply with the ISO standard.
During the cooperation the CEC developed and introduced a quality management system to provide high standards in election management and deliver effective services,” the CEC said.
The CEC thanked its employees for their contribution.
Tamar Zhvania, who has chaired the Georgian Central Election Commission (CEC) since 2013, has become the first in the history of independent Georgia who was re-elected to the post.
The head of Georgia’s Central Election Commission (CEC) Tamar Zhvania has been awarded the Joe C. Baxter award of the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) for supporting electoral processes.
The International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) will honor Tamar Zhvania, chairwoman of the Central Election Commission (CEC) of Georgia, with its 2017 Joe C. Baxter Award.
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 head of Georgia’s Central Election Commission (CEC) Tamar Zhvania has resigned earlier today ‘to help the smooth implementation’ of the April 19 EU-mediated agreement. Zhvania, who has held the post for almost eight years, has stated in her Facebook post that the new head of the CEC should be elected according to recently adopted amendments in the country's Election Code ‘which are in line with the EU-mediated agreement.’
