How Does the PolitPro Analysis Work?

Election polls are not predictions; they are snapshots subject to statistical fluctuations. To provide a realistic picture, we daily simulate 100,000 election outcomes based on the PolitPro Election Trend using the 'Monte Carlo method'. In doing so, we factor in typical voter migration patterns and political trends. Our algorithm tests various scenarios – from minor shifts within political camps to unexpected political developments – to determine the true chances of success for parties and coalitions.

The Electoral System in Georgia

Georgia's Parliament (Sakartvelos Parlamenti) comprises 150 members, elected for a four-year term. The October 2024 election marked the complete abolition of the previous mixed-member electoral system. The Parliament is now elected solely through proportional representation within a single nationwide constituency. A significant innovation was the introduction of an electronic voting system in most polling stations, where ballots are machine-scanned and counted to enhance the speed and transparency of results.

Electoral Thresholds

Since 2024, a nationwide electoral threshold of 5% applies for entry into the Georgian Parliament. Previously, this threshold had been temporarily lowered to 1%. A key tightening of the new rules is the prohibition of official electoral alliances (party blocs). Consequently, parties must either individually clear the 5% hurdle or formally merge to compete jointly. This regulation aims to consolidate the party landscape, yet significantly complicates parliamentary representation for smaller opposition parties.

Government Formation and Traditions

Government formation in Georgia mandates a simple majority of at least 76 out of 150 parliamentary seats. The Prime Minister is nominated by the party or coalition holding the most mandates. As Georgia operates under a parliamentary system, actual executive power rests with the Prime Minister and their cabinet, while the President primarily performs representative duties. The political landscape is highly polarized, often hindering the formation of broad, cross-party coalitions and frequently leading to the dominance of a single powerful force.
