Even if the ballot was turned over, it was clear who the voter had voted for - I request that they hand over a sample of the ballot, on which the vote has already been cast, so that we can conduct an examination to see how much it complies with the standard established by the agreement, Tamar Kordzaia, one of the leaders of "Unity - National Movement", said at the briefing.
According to her, if the CEC does not hand over the ballot, it will be a confirmation that "the government machine was fully involved in intimidating citizens during the election process".
"We believe that no one has the opportunity to determine who has made a free choice in this country and who has not. Therefore, I appeal to Giorgi Kalandarishvili, don't put the lady of your press office in my answer today and don't say that the ballot was covered by an envelope. You taught everyone that it is necessary to turn the ballot over and slide it like that, but none of the procedures protected secrecy. Even in the case of reversal, it was very clear who the voter voted for. Therefore, this falsification, this influence had a total character. Accordingly, personal responsibility belongs to Giorgi Kalandarishvili. At this moment, I categorically request that they give us a sample of the ballot that has already been voted on. to be handed over to us in order to carry out an examination, to what extent it corresponds to the standard established by the agreement. We will conduct an independent examination and check this. Otherwise, criminal liability will be faced in connection with mass violence and violation of secrecy in mass at the elections.
If they don't hand over the ballot to us for examination, this will also be a confirmation that the government machine was fully involved in this process in order to scare the citizens of Georgia when making a choice", said Tamar Kordzaia.
