Paragraph 93
 

Regularly updated information on voters’ lists is of crucial importance for democratic elections. The missing entries of some voters as well as possible multiple registrations of others would violate the principles of universal and equal suffrage. The voters list in Georgia has increased from 2.3 million (2004) to 3.2 million (2006) voters. In a country with an estimated population of just over 4 million persons that could raise questions with regard to the accuracy of the voters’ lists. Thus, regardless of the apparent adequacy of provisions regulating the voters list, their application has yet to result in a voters’ list that can be considered as sufficiently accurate.
