CEC Deputy Chairman: Video detection will be introduced throughout the country during the elections, but other technologies could not be introduced due to financial, logistical and time shortages

According to the Deputy Chairman of the CEC, Giorgi Sioridze, video detection will be introduced in all constituencies throughout the country during the October 2 elections.

As he explained to reporters, along with the electoral reform envisaged in the April 19 agreement, it was also planned to introduce technological innovations that would have a global impact on the voting process, but the plan was not fully implemented.

According to Sioridze, the introduction of other new technologies failed due to financial, logistical, time shortages and other reasons.

According to him, special attention was paid to Krtsanisi # 4 election district, where ballot papers will be counted by electronic counting machines.

"Intensive negotiations were underway with the company Smart Matik and it became possible to view the ballot papers in the entire Krtsanisi constituency through electronic counters," said Giorgi Sioridze.
