Along with 500 international observers, over 6,500 local observers will monitor the March 28 parliamentary elections in Georgia. This amount significantly exceeds the number of those observers, who monitored the previous elections.
These observers will act under the auspices of three organizations – the Fair Elections Foundation, the International Society for Fair Elections and Democracy (ISFED) and newly established election watchdog Movement New Generation – New Initiative. The Georgian Young Lawyers Association (GYLA) will also dispatch its observers to monitor elections.
Like the November 2 parliamentary elections, parallel vote tabulation (PVT) will still be conducted, while special emphasis will be put on the Adjara Autonomous Republic by the local election observer organizations.
