The Venice Commission is highly concerned that the amendments have been adopted in an accelerated procedure, without prior public consultations, and without taking into account any of the concerns raised by the President of Georgia, the Public Defender of Georgia, several representatives of the opposition and of the civil society, and by international organisations. Moreover, the amendments relating to political parties’ candidate lists are relevant for the outcome of elections, and their adoption much less than one year before the next parliamentary elections – scheduled for October 2024 – gives rise to serious concerns regarding stability of electoral law. The Venice Commission stresses again, as it did in a series of previous opinions, that the practice in Georgia of frequently amending the electoral legislation risks undermining the integrity of the electoral process and the state’s ongoing efforts to consolidate democracy.
