According to Georgia’s Justice Minister, Thea Tsulukiani, the country is technically ready to launch an online voting system.
However, other actions would be needed, including legislation changes, promoting electronic ID cards and ensuring countrywide internet access. Thereby, remote villages must be provided with proper internet connection for electronic voting to be effective.
Tsulukiani pointed out that one of the most important aspects of an e-voting system was that it would enable Georgian citizens living abroad to participate in elections.
Estonia, a pioneer of internet voting, has partnered and supported Georgia to develop its electronic governance. Tsulukiani said that Estonian experts had evaluated Georgia’s IT capabilities, concluding that the country was technically ready to host electronic elections.
