The voting process continues in a calm and peaceful environment across polling stations. The CEC Spokesperson, Natia Ioseliani, provided an update on the polling process at the news briefing.

"Before sharing the voter turnout data, I would like to draw attention to information that became known to us just a few minutes ago - certain individuals are making phone calls to citizens on behalf of the CEC, allegedly to verify whether they have voted or not.

This, in fact, appears to be an attempt to prepare the ground for various provocative statements under the name of the CEC.

We categorically state that such phone calls have not been made by the election administration.

It seems that certain persons are deliberately using the name of the CEC with the intention of damaging the institution and misleading voters through such manipulative actions. We urge everyone not to use the name of the CEC and not to harm the electoral environment.

Now, regarding the voter turnout - as of 12:00 p.m., a total of 602,445 voters have participated in the elections. The highest voter activity has been observed in the Racha-Lechkhumi and Kvemo Svaneti region. We would also like to inform the public that, as of this time, no complaints have been submitted to the District Election Commissions", – said Natia Ioseliani, CEC Spokesperson.
