Kremlin-friendly foreign politicians, journalists, lobbyists and activists have once again been invited to praise the disputed “all-Russian voting” on the constitutional amendments proposed by President Putin. The main motivation behind inviting foreign politically biased observers to the “voting”, which has no basis in Russian legislation, is to provide a semblance of international legitimacy to constitutional amendments that have already been approved by the Russian parliament.

On June 24 authorities completed the formation of Precinct Election Commissions (PECs) which are an important element of the electoral process directly engaged in the administration of voting and counting of votes. Observers note that the formation of PECs clearly discriminated against representatives of opposition parties: 1.1% of the total number of elected nominees are from opposition parties while 96.7% are from pro-government parties.

Today, nearly 50 Georgian CSOs and media outlets issued an open letter to Facebook urging the social media giant to promptly launch Political Ad Library and introduce other measures for increased ad transparency and countering disinformation ahead of the 2020 parliamentary elections in Georgia. The joint address highlights the urgency of action amid continued attempts of domestic and foreign actors to influence citizens and undermine the election environment.
