| CEC chief says parties, observers should recheck Adjara’s highly-suspicious voter lists |
Zurab Tchiaberashvili that the PACE delegation expressed concern that Georgian Parliament failed to pass the amendments to the election code, which would met the PACE and OSCE recommendations.
PACE delegation and the CEC chief also discussed the voter lists of the Adjara Autonomous Republic. The accuracy of the Adjarian voter lists cast doubts of the election watchdog organizations.
According to the Adjarian officials there are up to 300,000 voters in the Autonomous Republic, however many claim that these lists are over-inflated.
“I requested from the district election commissions in Adjara to send to the Central Election Commission the voter lists. We have already received part of the lists. We will provide with these lists all the election entities or the observer organization, which will check the accuracy of Adjarian voter lists,” Zurab Tchiaberashvili told reporters.
However, he added, that the Central Election Commission does not intend to recheck the lists from Adjara. He said if no one would recheck the lists the Central Election Commission will not be responsible for the accuracy of the Adjarian voter lists.
