The Georgian vote has taken place without major incidents. At the few polling places, where issues arose in the final hours before polls closed, they were addressed swiftly and effectively to prevent disruption of the political process. Working with the Central Election Commission, law enforcement, NGOs, and all political parties, the Government made every effort to ensure citizens had their say in line with the highest international standards.
The results today reflect the true will of the Georgian people as confirmed by the numerous international and domestic election observers who monitored the election, as well as the peaceful pre-election period.
“I would like to thank all foreign and domestic election observers for their commitment to Georgia’s democracy and help in protecting the will of the Georgian people; as well as international and local media for their full coverage of the election process,” said the Prime Minister. “Georgia is a model of the success that can be achieved through making long-term investments in democratic institutions.”
The vote-counting process now begins with guarantees of the utmost accuracy and transparency. Full preliminary results are expected at 6am local time tomorrow.
