The right to vote free from pressure and intimidation is a fundamental aspect of democratic elections. The proposed amendments strengthen the provision on campaign-related agitation around polling stations. In particular, the ban on hindrance of movement of voters within 25 metres of a polling station on election day is increased to 100 metres and a new ban introduced against gathering people or tracking voters within 100 metres from the polling station. These provisions are a positive step to counter attempts at influence and control of voters around polling stations that apparently occurred in past Georgian elections. While the amendments propose to repeal a provision that explicitly excludes sanctioning of these types of election-day violations, the draft does not explicitly provide for any sanction or means of enforcement, thereby diminishing effective deterrence of such activities.
