Georgia: Election Talks Fail to Yield Deal, 2009 (Civil.ge)

Parties failed to agree on rule of electing Tbilisi mayor bringing talks on electoral system reform to a deadlock. The issue was discussed at a meeting of an inter-party working group on electoral reform on November 18. Disagreement mainly persists between the Alliance for Georgia and the ruling party with the latter insisting on a 30% threshold for electing the capital city’s mayor. The Alliance for Georgia was pushing for having a 50% threshold, wherein a run off will be required if neither of the candidates garner over 50% of votes in the first round.
