The Venice Commission and ODIHR stress that the legal framework for carrying out elections should be based on as wide a consensus as possible amongst all electoral stakeholders and that every effort should be made, particularly at this politically polarising yet crucial time in Georgia, to achieve this shared confidence in the process. They furthermore wish to reiterate the statements they made in the context of the 2021 reforms, namely that ownership of the process can only take place through dialogue amongst all stakeholders driven by a genuine desire to safeguard and enhance Georgian democracy. In this respect, it is strongly recommended that that the ongoing efforts at consensus-building on the draft amendments continue amongst polticial factions, and that consideration of all proposals emanating from the various stakeholders in the process, including civil society organisations, be duly considered.
