Moreover, it is worrying that the amendments of such fundamental elements of the electoral law have been adopted less than one year before the next parliamentary elections due to be held in October 2024, contrary to the principle of stability of electoral law. In the initial Opinion, the Venice Commission had stressed that a derogation from the one-year advance adoption in respect of the next elections would only be justified under the condition of compliance with the key recommendations issued in that Opinion, together with a broader support including by the opposition. These two conditions have, however, not been fulfilled in the subsequent adoption process. It is striking that none of the concerns raised by the President of Georgia, several representatives of the opposition and of the civil society, and by international organisations including the Venice Commission and ODIHR, have been taken into account in this process.
