Georgia, Tbilisi, Oct.1, Trend, N.Kirtskhalia /
Voter turnout in the parliamentary elections in Georgia was 25.5 per cent as of 12:00, the Georgian Central Election Commission spokesman Eka Azarashvili said at a special press briefing.
According to the CEC, several violations were recorded during the voting, but these are not serious.
Parliamentary elections are being held in Georgia. Around 14 parties and two political blocs are taking part in the elections. Parliament will receive more authority in 2013 after amendments to the Constitution take force resulting in the president's power being reduced. The elections will be declared valid if the number of voters reaches one-third.
