The parliamentary elections, held in Georgia on 8 October 2016, with repeat voting in a few precincts on 22 October and a second round of voting in a number of single-candidate constituencies on 30 October, were generally in line with international standards. However, the authorities need to investigate and address the serious shortcomings described in this report and by other observer missions. Incidents of violence and intimidation of voters in some electoral districts marred the overall impression of the elections.
