Paragraph 18
 

As regards persons who are not included at all on the voter list, Article 10.2 allows them to be introduced up to and including the election day itself.  While a liberal solution of this important matter has its positive side (and is known in some other countries), it also has a dangerous side, and it seems questionable to allow the Precinct Election Commission (as the clause seems to indicate) to make the introduction on its own.  The correction ought rather to be supported by the decision of a court to which the voter can have recourse, or at least the DEC.  In any case, the acceptability of the clause depends very much on the reliability of the Georgian citizen identity card and registration card which the voter is required to present.
