NDI Deploys Long-Term Assessment Team for 2024 Parliamentary Elections in Georgia

The National Democratic Institute (NDI) deployed its international nonpartisan long-term election assessment mission for the 2024 parliamentary elections in Georgia scheduled for October 26, 2024. The team includes five long-term analysts (LTAs) and a mission director, and will be supported by additional Georgia-based assistants.

The team arrived in Tbilisi in the week of July 22 and will remain in Georgia through November
2024. During its stay in the country, the members will focus on key electoral themes, including
political campaigns, election administration, Georgia’s media and information space, as well as
gender and inclusion issues. The team will also meet with government representatives and electoral
authorities, including the Central Election Commission; political parties across the political
spectrum; civic organizations, non-partisan citizen observation organizations; and representatives
of state and private media.

This deployment follows a pre-election assessment mission to Georgia conducted in February
2024 and is part of a comprehensive international election observer mission. NDI will use data
gathered from the assessment team as it continues its engagement in the coming months to
strengthen Georgia’s electoral process.

NDI’s international limited long-term election assessment mission will conduct its activities in a
nonpartisan, professional manner, in accordance with Georgian law and the Declaration of
Principles for International Election Observation.

No comments will be made prior to elections.
