“They know that if a large number of Georgians living abroad participate in the elections, the ruling party will lose”

This mission is a continuation of NDI’s pre-election assessment and part of a broader international election observation program organized for the 2024 parliamentary elections.

In the coming months, the NDI team will examine various aspects related to the elections, including the election campaign process, election organization, media and information environment, as well as gender issues and inclusivity.

The team will also meet with representatives from the government and election administration, the ruling party and opposition political parties, civil society organizations, local monitoring groups, state broadcasters, and independent media.

NDI is a non-profit, non-partisan, non-governmental organization dedicated to strengthening democratic institutions worldwide by promoting citizen participation, government transparency, and accountability.

Throughout its history, NDI has observed approximately 200 elections across all regions of the world, including every election held in Georgia since 1992.

The mission is funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
