Comment

The new gender quota law– adopted following a failed attempt in 2018 – also was pushed by European countries; the EU-Georgia Association Agenda called for the country to “take active steps towards increasing women’s representation in political life and the decision-making process.". Georgia previously attempted to enlist more women by boosting state funding for parties that included women in their electoral slates, but that resulted in only 25 women being elected to the 150-seat parliament in the last elections, in 2016. In 2024, when Georgia transitions to a fully proportional system, that will mean that at least 37 seats in parliament will be set aside for women. Further changes will go into effect in 2028, when the one-in-every-four formula will be replaced by one-in-every-three, so that 50 seats will go to women (Eurasianet, 2020). The Gender Quota was abolished in 2024.
