Results for the polling day by 10:00 a.m.

At 10:00 A.M Media Center hosted briefing by Georgian Young Lawyer’s Association, regarding the results for the polling day by 10 A.M

GYLA observes the course of election in Tbilisi and 35 election districts of 9 regions. By 10:00 a.m., the situation during the polling process is mostly calm. However, several procedural violations have been demonstrated at several precincts:

1.       By the time of the opening, at Sachkere #73 and Didube #1 precincts the sealing wax of bulletin package has been damaged.

2.       GYLA observers had difficulty in entering #116 precinct for exceptional cases and #77 Gldani precinct, however by this time, the problem has been settled down.

3.       At the #91 precinct for exceptional cases of Saburtalo district, after casting lots, the commission members distributed functions among themselves on their own.

4.       At Saburtalo #28 precinct the voter took part in the  polling process that was indicated in the list as “registered at the consulate”, which is a violation of the polling process.

5.       Problem of indicating requisites in the acts of acceptance were demonstrated at Tskaltubo #5 and Isani #7 precincts.

By this time, 11 complaints have been written by GYLA observers (media restriction; late opening of the polling station;  agitation with the legislative violation; the lack of bulletins at the precinct; restricting observer to enter the polling station; members of the commission abusing their authority; the problems with mobile ballots).

Moreover, in some districts, several people in the nearby area of precincts are registering voters, which is the direct control over the free will of the voter.
