The Court has found that a threshold of 4% could be deemed in line with the requirements of Article 3 of protocol No. 1 of the ECHR. Furthermore, the increase of the threshold is relatively minor (from 3 % and 2,5 % to 4 %). In this regard, the amendment in the threshold therefore appears not to be problematic. Nevertheless, in view of the above-mentioned measures that strengthen the majoritarian dimension of the Georgian electoral system at the local level, the increase of the threshold could further weaken the pluralism of the elected bodies.
