According to the information published by the Commission, voters must apply to the CEC until 22:00 of October 26 and the Commission will ensure the participation of voters placed in the hospitals and quarantine facilities, including self-isolated voters, on October 31.
The election administration, in coordination with political parties, civil society and international organizations, has adopted a resolution regulating how these citizens will be involved in the voting process.
“For participation of self-isolated citizens of Georgia in elections, Call-Information Center has started operating at the CEC for the second day already. 25 operators having undertaken relevant training, from 10:00 a.m. on 24-25-26 October until 22:00 will reply to self-isolated citizens’ calls and indicate their requests.
Self-isolated voters whose data is officially recorded in a database of the relevant agency, in case of applying to the CEC Call-Information Center will use the service of a mobile ballot box.
The EA ran active informative campaign to update self-isolated citizens to the extent possible. Until now, the CEC sent out SMS to about 3000 voters registered by indicating their contact information in the database of the relevant agency. The process of sending SMS to mentioned citizens is underway.
Additionally, informative videos for informing self-isolated voters are disseminated through regional and local media, as well as through social networks.
