The Ministry of Foreign Affairs hosted a meeting with Giorgi Kalandarishvili, Chairman of the Central Election Commission [CEC], with the participation of the heads of the diplomatic missions.
“We reviewed preparation for the October parliamentary elections. Agreed that the Foreign Ministry and CEC will continue close cooperation, coordination and communication to ensure that, on the one hand, the Georgian citizens expressed their constitutional right freely and on the other hand, the elections are safe, risk-free and technologically flawless”, - said Ilia Darchiashvili, the Foreign Minister of Georgia.
“The Ambassadors were asked to provide elections-related information to the Georgian citizens living abroad. Sharing information and progressive activities with diplomats is significant for the participation of Georgian citizens living in different countries in the upcoming elections. We stay in constant communication with the MFA to exchange the information regularly to ensure holding the elections professionally in line with European, international standards”, - added Giorgi Kalandarishvili.
According to the MFA, the electronic register of consular registration has already been launched on the agency’s website, through which Georgian citizens abroad have the opportunity to verify the fact of their presence in the consular registration and, if they wish, to register on time.
