EIIElection Integrity Index

Article 34 codifies public posting of voter lists at PECs. Article 76 codifies CEC publication of summarised results. Article 23 codifies precinct establishment with public participation. Building blocks of public verification, though not a single downloadable signed package.

No candidate sections returned by FTS.

No candidate sections returned by FTS.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 76 codifies CEC publication of summarised results, but no general citizen right to receive raw precinct data for independent re-tally. Article 183 covers referendum results. Article 149 covers majoritarian determination. Standing limited to electoral subjects / observers.

Election Code Article 68 codifies tamper-evident seal verification: 'The PEC chairperson shall check the seal integrity on a ballot box in the presence of PEC members and persons authorised to be present at a polling place. If the seal integrity is lost but a PEC considers that this has not led to violation of the rules' — codified procedure. Reinforced by Article 62 (polling-day log-book of all incidents), Article 67 (pre-opening procedure), Article 66 (mobile ballot-box sealing/return). Ordinal level 2: tamper-evident seals required.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 51 (information support during campaigning) and Constitution Article 17 (internet freedom) — neither codifies network-isolation prohibition for voting equipment. Paper voting regime makes this moot but unaddressed.

Article 33 codifies the mobile-ballot-box list (chain-of-custody documentation for mobile voting). Article 68 codifies seal integrity verification. Combined with the polling-day log-book (Article 62) requirement, Georgia has codified custody documentation for ballot boxes.

No candidate sections returned by FTS.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Constitution Article 69 establishes the State Audit Office for state-budget supervision — not election-result audit. Article 57 covers campaign-expense reporting. Article 93 covers administrative-offence protocols. No per-election audit of voting results codified.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Vote-counting procedure (Art 67-71) is part of the canvass, not a separate audit. No risk-limiting or fixed-percentage audit method codified.

No candidate sections returned by FTS.

Article 39-41 grant observers comprehensive access — including to the vote-count process (which serves as the de facto audit since no separate audit exists). § 67-68 ballot-box opening occurs in observer presence.

Constitution Article 60 grants the Constitutional Court authority over election disputes. Election Code Article 76 codifies CEC summarisation as the binding act for certification. No formal audit exists, but the certified canvass + recount findings are binding.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Election Code Article 29 covers early termination of CEC member tenure — unrelated to voting software. Constitution Article 17 covers freedom of opinion + internet access — unrelated. Georgia uses paper ballots; no voting-system source-code regime exists.

No candidate sections returned by FTS.

No candidate sections returned by FTS.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Election Code Article 2 defines terms generally — not pre-published signed ballot layouts/tabulation rules.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 184 (2012-specific voter-list verification commission) is unrelated to software-integrity check. Georgia has no voting-software regime to verify.

Article 41 grants observers comprehensive rights: attend electoral commission sessions, be present at polling places at any time, move freely within precinct, observe all polling-day stages, observe vote-counting and summarisation, file complaints. Article 39 establishes the right to observe; Article 40 codifies registration procedure. Article 91 makes restriction of observer rights administratively punishable. Among the strongest observer regimes in the corpus.

“An observer shall have the right to:”

Article 39(1) explicitly grants observation rights to 'Domestic and international observer organisations' — international observers admitted by statutory default upon registration with CEC. Article 40(1) codifies CEC registration of international observer organisations. Reinforced by Article 91 administrative penalty for restricting their rights.

Article 76(1) codifies CEC summarisation 'not later than the 19th day after polling.' Article 14 codifies CEC continuous-publication duties. § 122 implies preliminary results before final summarisation. Score ordinal level 2: within 1 week is not strictly met (19 days), but preliminary precinct-level posting under Article 34 + Article 76 chain happens earlier.

No candidate sections returned by FTS.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 30 codifies CEC legal-act publication (ordinances, decrees, summary protocols). No open vote-format/device-protocol standards (none needed for paper).

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 56 codifies state-budget financing of election campaign funds (5%+ threshold) — not vendor-contract duration. No vendor regime exists for paper voting.

No candidate sections returned by FTS.

Election Code Article 3 declares 'universal, equal, and direct suffrage, by secret ballot' as foundational principles. Article 94 reinforces for presidential elections ('on the basis of universal, equal, and direct suffrage, by secret ballot'). Article 165 same for mayoral elections. Constitution Article 24 (electoral right) constitutionally enshrines secret ballot. Article 40 of Constitution requires Parliamentary chairperson elected by secret ballot. Comprehensive secret-ballot mandate.

“Basic principles for holding elections, referenda, and plebiscites in Georgia shall be:”

No candidate sections returned by FTS.

Article 58 codifies that state authorities and local self-government bodies 'shall provide the premises and inventory required for the preparation and the conduct of elections to electoral commissions for temporary use free of charge.' Article 61 codifies precinct opening at 07:00 with minimum 7 PEC members. Article 23 (not FTS-surfaced for this datapoint) sets the 20-1500 voter precinct-size floor — present in the corpus but not in this datapoint's surfaced candidates.
