Over the last several years, extensive discussions have taken place among electoral stakeholders in Georgia on reforming the electoral system from a mixed system of proportional and majoritarian representation to a fully proportional system. Opposition parties and civil society representatives generally support an immediate shift of the electoral system. While the governing coalition also favours such a modification, it has not considered there to be sufficient time for such a change ahead of the next parliamentary elections, expected in October 2016. Draft amendments to the Constitution on shifting to an entirely proportional system were introduced, although not adopted by parliament. The 2016 parliamentary elections will therefore take place under the existing mixed system, with redrawn single-member constituencies.
