Parliament to discuss constitutional amendments with the first reading

The parliamentary discussion on the constitutional amendments prepared to change the electoral system will be held with the first reading at the extraordinary sitting today, on June 21.

Constitutional amendments need 113 votes to be approved.

Constitutional changes envisage holding the 2020 parliamentary elections in 120/30 model (120 proportional mandates and 30 majoritarian mandates) in Georgia.

The amendments stipulate that proportional elections will be held with 1% threshold, and the threshold for electoral blocs will be determined by multiplying one percent with the number of parties in the bloc.

At the same time, based on changes it is impossible for a party or electoral bloc, which wins less than 40 percent of the vote to form a parliamentary majority and form a government single-handedly.
