We, the undersigned below representatives of Georgian society, experts, NGOs and political unions agree and declare that:

Georgia falls under the category of the states with the so-called mixed election system, in which both proportionate and majoritarian election systems co-exist. In particular, the Georgian Parliament consists of 77 members elected in proportionate election system (candidates nominated through party lists) and 73 members elected through majoritarian election system.
