Registration of voters abroad is over
The registration period for all voters who reside in foreign countries is over. The list of the eligible voters abroad will be handed over to the State Commission for Ensuring Voter List Accuracy first and the commission will then send the lists to the Central Election Commission for final confirmation. 45 polling stations will be opened in various countries on the day of the parliamentary elections, on October 1, 2012. The polling stations have been cancelled in Iran and Jordan due to the insignificant number of Georgian voters residing in these countries.
According to the latest data, only 42,600 Georgian nationals registered in the foreign consulates abroad have the right to vote.
