The Communications Commission has started media monitoring for the 2020 Georgian parliamentary elections, whereby up to 50 broadcasters will be monitored around the clock. The media monitoring process will be conducted in accordance with international standards. COMCOM will regularly publish monitoring reports, presenting both quantitative and qualitative results to the public.    

Around 30 personnel will be involved in the monitoring process, examining election advertisements, debates, news and political shows, as well as pre-election campaigning and opinion polling. All common broadcasters, including the Public Broadcaster and Adjara TV, as well as centrally and locally funded newspapers, will be subject to monitoring.

The media monitoring process will continue until the day of the vote. COMCOM will make the election reports available to the public.
