A draft amendment to Articles 63(19) and 65(2) of the Election Code requires voters to present an electronic identity card (or passport) in order to vote, whereas previously voters could vote with a non-electronic identity card. It is understood that this draft change is based on the proposed introduction of electronic voter verification machines in most electoral precincts, a measure widely supported by stakeholders. While electronic identity cards were introduced in Georgia in 2011, it is not mandatory to possess one, and many citizens continue to use their non-electronic identity card (which does not have an expiry date), including for voting. In effect, voters in possession of only the non-electronic card will be disenfranchised. It is imperative that the law ensure, to the greatest extent possible, that all eligible voters are able to cast a vote as a suffrage right. In light of this, consideration should be given to continue to provide voters with the option of using either type of card or otherwise incorporate a transitional provision that allows use of either card until a specified date. The transitional period should provide sufficient time for the relevant authorities to inform voters of this new voting requirement and allow citizens a reasonable time period to obtain the electronic card if they do not already possess one. In this respect, it is imperative that the relevant authorities conduct a timely information campaign and facilitate an easy access to obtain the required electronic card.
