US Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Jim Risch have sent a letter to the US Secretary of State and the head of the Agency for International Development, in which they appeal to the administration to establish a long-term observation mission in Georgia for the 2024 elections.

According to the Georgian editorial office of Voice of America, the European Affairs Subcommittee in the Senate, Jeanne Shaheen, and the ranking Republican in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Jim Risch, call for the creation of a long-term election observation mission in Georgia, which will observe the upcoming elections in Georgia in 2024 in order to “support Georgia and the Georgian people at this crucial moment for their democracy”.

Both senators were in Georgia as observers during the 2012 elections.

Preparation for the 2024 elections and conducting free and fair elections are considered by the senators to be a critically important stage for the country’s democratic development, not only for Georgia, but also for the national interests of the US.
