Instances of alleged vote buying in the run up to election requires prompt investigation
After the first round of the presidential election, an increase in the number of instances of alleged vote buying and misuse of administrative resources has been especially noticeable. It is important that the relevant state institutions investigate these instances promptly so that the pre-election environment is not damaged.
The CEC decision overlooks interests of Georgian citizens
The Central Election Commission did not take into account calls of NGOs and scheduled the election runoff for a weekday, on November 28.
