Parliament approves constitutional amendments during second hearing

The Parliament of Georgia voted in favor of the constitutional amendments in the second hearing. The number of deputies who supported the project is 115, while three were against it.

According to the constitutional amendments, the 2020 parliamentary elections will take place under a mixed electoral system 120/30 and a 1% threshold.

The United National Movement and European Georgia did not take part in the voting.

The bill covers the so-called 40% shutdown mechanism, which means that a party that receives less than 40.54% support in the 2020 parliamentary elections under the proportional system will not be able to independently form a government.
