Georgian Central Election Commission sets second presidential election on November 28.
This time, Georgian citizens will have to make a choice between the two candidates who gained the most votes in the first round, October 28. This is a member of the former ruling party "United National Movement" Grigol Vashadze and Salome Zurabishvili, supported by the ruling party "Georgian Dream - Democratic Georgia".
"Election day will be a day off for the population of Georgia," Tamara Zhvania, head of the CEC, said at a meeting..
Disputes over the voting dates lasted for more than an hour at the Georgian CEC. The opposition was categorically opposed to the second round of elections being held on a working day.. They insisted that this would complicate the process of voting for Georgian citizens abroad, as they will have a working day there.
In this regard, the CEC decided to extend the voting process abroad until 24:00 local time.. And in Georgia, the polls will traditionally close at 20:00.
