NDI Recommendations in Advance of Georgia's Rerun and Runoff Elections

TBILISI – The National Democratic Institute (NDI) is publishing recommendations ahead of Georgia's rerun and runoff elections. According to the statement most voters were able to cast their ballots freely in Georgia’s October 8 parliamentary elections and the results appeared to reflect their will. The elections and their immediate aftermath highlighted a number of underlying problems, however, which have contributed to speculation, confusion, and mistrust. If unaddressed, these issues could detract from the credibility of future elections as well as the legitimacy of the mandate of the next parliament and government. As Georgia prepares for four rerun elections on October 22 and 50 runoffs on October 30, leaders from the government, election administration, law enforcement, political parties, and civil society will need to devote their combined authority and resources to addressing these concerns.
