The current electoral reform process in Georgia is embedded in months-long political negotiations brokered by international actors aimed at resolving the political crisis following the parliamentary elections of October 2020 and the boycott of Parliament by the opposition parties. On 19 April 2021, the two opposition parties who had entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the ruling party in January, four additional opposition parties and two independent MPs signed an amended agreement with the ruling party (hereinafter “the political agreement”), committing to joining Parliament and pursuing several reforms, including the electoral reform. However, four parties, including the major opposition party, did not sign the document. According to the political agreement, the parties shall support the above-mentioned amendment bill, with several “complementary or modifying amendments”. The parliamentary working group on electoral reform, which was joined by several opposition parties, subsequently revised the amendment bill. It was adopted by Parliament in the first reading on 25 May 2021 and is planned to be finally adopted in June.
