Court allows registration of Republican Party for parliamentary elections

Tbilisi City Court has allowed the registration of the oldest political party in Georgia-the Republican Party, for the October parliamentary elections after the Georgian Central Election Commission (CEC) denied the registration for late submission of mandatory documentation. 

•  68 non-parliamentary parties request registration for upcoming elections

The CEC said that non-parliamentary parties must have presented the documentation before July 15, while the party presented them on July 15. 

The party said that they submitted documentation to the Georgian Post on July 14, while the post brought the documents to the CEC on July 15.

The Republicans stated that they gave the documentation to the post office before the deadline and the party should have been registered. 

Theყ appealed the decision to the court and the court allowed the registration.
