We have developed a Georgian modification of the electoral system based on the German model, which we will forward to the Public Defender and will register the draft law in the Parliament. Such statement made Giorgi Vashadze, the leader of the New Georgia, at a joint news conference of opposition parties.

“The model that we developed is based on the so-called German model, is consistent with the Georgian constitution, expresses public opinion, gives preference to the proportional system and considers Georgian reality.

The novelty of all this is that votes will be proportionally distributed among candidates. The majoritarian system will be maintained, but there will be multi-mandate majoritarian constituencies - 6, 7 or 8-mandate constituencies.

Each voter will have one vote and therefore, no political force will be able to seize power. The interest of each individual will be maximally expressed and, most importantly, the government will serve people and not authoritarians, who were unfortunately developed under the old system.

As responsible opposition parties, we are working day and night to develop an electoral model that is fully in line with state interests. If the ODIHR has any questions or opinions regarding the draft law, we are ready to consider them”, - said Vashadze.
