The program "Democratic Elections and Election Environment" developed by the Training Centre for basic and secondary level teachers envisages further planning of the lesson process on the election module and sharing of updated information with students. For these purposes, teachers were submitted a specially prepared additional informational resource, which includes the discussed election topics, reading material for the topic expansion, practical exercises and recommended instructions on the methodology of conducting. In addition, the following important issues were discussed with the meeting participants: the importance of the voter's role and aspects of political culture; principles and international standards of conducting democratic elections; trends in the modernization of elections and the use of electronic technologies in the voting process; realization of the voter's electoral right, secrecy and protection during the voting process; inclusive electoral environment; election services offered to voters by the Election Administration of Georgia.
