In Tamarisi village, Marneuli district, mini-bus is moving from the early morning in PEC # 21 and brings voters to the PS. Human Rights Center’s observer reported about it. “This mini-bus has been bringing voters to the PS from early morning and then returns back. We tried to talk with the driver but he said he is a volunteer and nobody pays money to him for the transportation of voters; he does not serve any political party either. Simply, it was his kind will to assist his neighbors to get to the precinct,” Salome Chkheidze, observer from the Human Rights Center, said and added that observer from the Georgian Dream several times approached the mini-bus and talked with the voters getting out of the bus and the driver.

It is noteworthy that voters are most active in this precinct unlike other precincts of Marenuli district. 300 voters have already participated in the polls there whilst voters are very passive in other precincts and their number has reached only 100.

Our observers tried to find out the situation with the commission chairperson. He said the population is brought to the precinct from Svaneti district because it is located far from the precinct. Commission chairperson said he does not know who organized the transportation of the voters.
