Among other things, MP Nika Machutadze said they asked Georgia’s Western partners to work with the Georgian government and ruling party on the electronic voting system for the Georgian diaspora and the emigrants to be more involved in the country’s upcoming Parliamentary elections.

“We also talked about the fact that the presence of international observers at the elections is crucial and very important so that Georgian Dream does not have the opportunity to falsify the elections in any way,” – MP Ketevan Turazashvili from Citizens said.

As for the meeting with Girchi, according to MP Alexander Rakviashvili, they discussed “all issues related to the election process and Election day,” as well as the mechanisms of vote counting and the problems of the electoral environment.
