Watchdog Reports on Pre-Election Violations

Local election watchdog group International Society for Fair Elections and Democracy (ISFED) said on September 20 that their monitoring has revealed cases of pre-election wrongdoings, including pressure on election administration members and the potential misuse of conscripts? votes.


ISFED says that local officials from the ruling National Movement party summoned the chairpersons of the precinct election commissions in the Gurjaani district, Kakheti region, and requested their support in the upcoming elections.


The watchdog also said that a group of servicemen from the Orkhevi military unit in Tbilisi, whose term of service has already expired, are being forced by their command to remain in the military unit until the elections. In order to do this, ?Their IDs have been confiscated,? ISFED said in a statement.
