The electoral law must enjoy a certain stability, protecting it against partisan political manipulation. International good practice highlights the importance of the stability of electoral legislation and the impact that frequent changes can have on public trust. Frequent amendments furthermore risk confusing voters, parties and candidates, and make it difficult for the competent electoral authorities to apply the law, which may lead to mistakes in the electoral process and, as a consequence, distrust in the elected bodies. It is noted that past ODIHR election observation reports and ODIHR/Venice Commission Joint Opinions related to Georgian elections and election legislation have reiterated a recommendation to conduct a comprehensive, systemic review of the Georgian electoral law within an inclusive consultation process, to bring it further in line with OSCE commitments, international standards and good practices. The current amendments while aimed to partially address the EU recommendation for electoral reform were not based on a comprehensive review of the Election Code and only address a selection of issues. To ensure better conformity of electoral legislation with international standards, the Venice Commission and ODIHR recommend a comprehensive reform which could contribute to stability of the electoral law and on-going efforts to consolidate democracy, by eliminating the need for frequent amendments to the election legislation.
