Tbilisi. Georgian Young Lawyers' Association and the International Society for Fair Elections and Democracy addressed the Constitutional Court of Georgia, representing six residents of Tbilisi. "The residents requested to declare unconstitutional the provisions of the code, which allow only political parties and electoral unions to nominate the mayoral/governor candidates. The NGOs consider that the disputed provisions, creating unequal environment among the party-nominated candidates and the independent candidates violate the right to ban the discrimination, guaranteed under the Article 14 of the Constitution of Georgia".
