U.S. Hails Steady Progress in Conduct of Georgia’s Elections

Richard Boucher, the Spokesman of the U.S. Department of State, said on March 29, that the United States welcomes the steady progress that the Georgian Government appears to have made in administering free elections.


“We agree with the preliminary conclusions of the OSCE observer mission, which noted that Georgia has made commendable progress in bringing these elections closer to European standards,” Richard Boucher said at a news briefing in Washington.


However, he refrained from commenting on the numbers of the parallel vote tabulation until after the Georgia Central Election Commission and the OSCE complete their work.


“But generally, I think we can say the Parliamentary elections look to have been generally conducted well. There are allegations of serious irregularities in a couple places and we look to the OSCE for their final report,” Boucher added.
