The photo of the summary protocol was spread on social media, as well as in various media outlets.

We would like to unequivocally declare that the mentioned represents the misconduct, and the Kutaisi election district will have a relevant response in this regard. The summary protocol will be destroyed and the election precinct will be provided with the new summary protocol.
