Public Movement Multinational Georgia (PMMG) published the preliminary assessment of election observation of the October 2 local elections in Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Within the frame of the elections monitoring program, PMMG has conducted the monitoring of 2021 Local Self-Government Elections Day covering 240 electoral precincts (EPs) in 21 electoral districts (EDs) with the compact settlement of ethnic minorities. The program was implemented by 327 short term observers (STOs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The organization completely covered 31 EPs in Krtsanisi ED in where the elections were conducted with the application of electronic technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In those 21 EDs where the PMMG monitored the Elections Day, the Local Self-Government Elections were held in a calm environment, except for the number of EPs in Marneuli ED in where the substantial electoral violations have been revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Election Day, PMMG observers filed 10 complaints to the election commissions. All 10 complaints have been moved to the respective DECs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In most cases, PEC members took into account the remarks made by PMMG observers and consequently used to remove the identified shortcomings. As a result, PMMG observers were not filing complaints to those PECs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PMMG said the local elections at 21 precincts, where it had the observers, were held in a peaceful environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
