Pursuant to the electoral legislation, on May 4, 2019 the deadline for recalling PEC members expired. Considering the above-mentioned, the Training Center, in coordination with DECs, planned additional trainings for replaced (new) members of PECs, as well as those members who failed to attend the scheduled trainings.

As part of the profile training program, the participants will be familiarized with the following key topics:

• opening a polling station and distribution of functions among PEC members by casting lots;
• activities of PEC members to ensure the enjoyment of voting right by voters in the polling process;
• voters’ personal data protection;
• rights status of individuals authorized to be at the polling station;
• activities of PEC members in the process of closing a polling station and counting of the votes;
• summarizing polling results at the PEC

To promote enhanced procedural knowledge of PEC members, the trainings will be delivered using a combined methodology; this will include episodic role-plays by participants to enhance practical skills. As part of the practical teaching, video will be shown and relevant instructions will be provided to PEC members concerning the matters of participation of voters with disabilities in elections.

Additional trainings will be held on May 9, 2019. Follow the Link  (available in Georgian) for training schedules. Any changes in the schedule will be reflected immediately.
