According to the new provisions, elections of representative bodies of local self-government – Sakrebulos are held every four years. The code establishes a mixed electoral system whereby in each representative body of local self-government – Sakrebulo throughout the country, 10 members are elected through a proportional representation system, and a certain number of members are elected through a plurality system within single member constituencies. In the case of ‘self-governing city’s Sakrebulo’, five members are elected through the plurality system, while in the case of ‘municipalities’ Sakrebulo’, the plurality system is used to elect “one member from each community and city on the corresponding territory of the given district” (Article 115).
