Various Get out the vote initiatives, such as debate competition, podcasts, hackathons and trainings are used to promote active participation in elections and contribute to the enhancement of democratisation processes. They will take place in Tbilisi, self-governing cities and municipalities – Batumi, Zugdidi, Kutaisi, Gori, Rustavi, Ninotsminda, Akhalkalaki, Marneuli and Gardabani.

All the activities are implemented within the framework of the Council of Europe Project “Supporting Transparency, Inclusiveness and Integrity of Electoral Practice and Process in Georgia”.
