András László, a member of the European Parliament from Hungary and an election observer in Georgia wrote on the X Platform that elections in the country are going on “very smoothly.”

According to the MEP, election conditions fully meet European democratic standards.

“Gamarjoba! Georgia is voting today!

I am observing the elections with great interest and everything is going very smoothly. Voters, local NGO observers and official election staff all say that everything is very orderly.

Rigorous ID checks are in place and the new electronic vote counting is highly trusted and the official count will also include hand-counting every ballot. This will allow to have quick results when voting stations close and leave no uncertainties. Conditions fully meet European democratic standards.

High participation is expected which will give the outcome strong democratic legitimacy,” he said.

The 2024 parliamentary elections are held on October 26 in Georgia.
