NDI Poll: Knowledge and Expectations of Georgian Parliament Low; Majority Support Legislation on a Gender Quota and Protection Against Sexual Harassment

TBILISI - Poll results released today by the National Democratic Institute (NDI) and CRRC Georgia show a growing disconnect between citizens and elected officials in Georgia. People mostly expect MPs to serve their party’s interests (75 percent) and their own interests (55 percent), over those of citizens (41 percent), with results even less favorable in Tbilisi.
