It is paramount that we have practically fulfilled almost all key recommendations set out by the Venice Commission and OSCE/ODIHR. The cardinal novelty is that we, for the first time, resort to holding the Parliamentary Elections through the e-devices. Hence, this is the novelty ensuring rapid tabulation. We have also introduced an automated vote counting mechanism excluding any manipulations and the risk of fraud elections”, - A. Okhanashvili stated.
