According to the decision of the CEC, the second round of parliamentary elections in Georgia will be held on November 21.

CEC Deputy Chairman Giorgi Sharabidze stated about it at the briefing after the CEC session. According to the CEC Deputy Chairman, there was an attempt to put pressure on the members of the election administration at today's session, which is unacceptable.

"The election administration has listened to the complaints of all entities, including one non-governmental organization, and a decision has been made. However, there have been attempts to put pressure on both the election administration and its members, as well as somewhat threatening statements. This is categorically unacceptable. I would like to emphasize that today's session was held in full compliance with the law. The CEC is exercising its powers under the law. Today, the CEC has scheduled the second rounds, which will be held on November 21 of this year", - Giorgi Sharabidze said.

For the record, the concluding session of the CEC was held against the background of tension today. Verbal confrontation took place between CEC Chairperson Tamar Zhvania and one of the leaders of European Georgia Khatuna Gogorishvili.

In parallel with the sitting, a protest rally was held in front of the CEC building.
