Exit Poll Results on Plebiscites

63.6% voted in favor of holding the next parliamentary elections this spring and 17.7% against in one of two plebiscites held alongside the presidential election, according to exit polls.

Exit polls commissioned by four television stations also show that 61% of voters in the second plebiscite voted in favor of NATO membership, while 15.6% voted against.

Four television stations – the Georgian Public Broadcaster (GPB), Rustavi 2 TV, Mze TV and Adjara TV – jointly commissioned the exit polls for the January 5 presidential election and plebiscites. The Georgian Institute of Public Affairs (GIPA), Ilia Chavchavadze State University and two think-tanks – the Caucasus Institute for Peace, Democracy and Development (CIPDD) and the Georgian Foundation for Strategic and International Studies (GFSIS) managed the exit polls. Ukrainian Democratic Initiatives Foundation acted as a consultant.

Six local research groups – IPM, ACT, Sarke, ISSA, ISR, ARC – conducted the field work. The exit polls were carried out at 211 precincts throughout Georgia.
