Georgian court cancels election results at 30 polling stations

YEREVAN, 5 NOVEMBER, ARMENPRESS. A district court in Georgia has canceled election results from 30 precincts, citing violations of voting secrecy, as reported by RFE/RL’s Georgian service.

This decision comes amid claims of election fraud.

The Tetri Tskaro district court found that voting procedures in precincts across Tetri Tskaro and Tsalka compromised ballot secrecy. Voters marked ballots in a way that allowed their choices to be visible during machine counting. The district election commission also failed to address complaints, suggesting possible interference.

Georgia’s pro-EU opposition is refusing to accept the victory of the ruling Georgian Dream party.

The Georgian Young Lawyers Association will seek to overturn the results at all polling stations with electronic ballot boxes.
