OSCE: “Most Problems Were in Kakheti Region”

June 2, 2010

Monitoring Mission of the Democrat Institutes and Human Rights Office of the OSCE evaluated the municipal elections of May 30, 2010 in Georgia positively. However, they said significant violations were observed and mostly in Kakheti region.

“There were several cases when extra ballot papers were dropped in the ballot boxes. The most violations were observed in Kakheti region. In several cases not every voter was marked; the IDs were not checked; the situation was tense in several polling stations. There were procedural violations when voters were not allowed to make their free choice. The violations were observed during the counting procedures; for example, not everybody in the PS could watch the counting process,” said the spokesperson of the OSCE mission Ian Ashanbasher.

According to the spokesperson, the Mission is curious how many complaints will be filed to the court and how they will be discussed.
