Democratic values are at the core of EU-Georgia relations. This project contributes to accomplishing more equal, free and fair conduct of elections during the 2020 Parliamentary and the 2021 Municipal polls in Georgia. To achieve this, the project conducts comprehensive nationwide monitoring of electoral processes, supports and advocates for electoral reforms, and promotes voter education and awareness in remote and ethnic minority-populated areas.

The project incorporates a range of activities falling under four major components:
- Increasing transparency and accountability of electoral processes through carrying out comprehensive and non-partisan nationwide citizen observation of the 2020 Parliamentary and the 2021 Municipal elections in Georgia; This also includes conducting investigative research into sophisticated trends of electoral violations and into practices of the election administration.
- Contributing to accomplishing more robust electoral framework through evidence-based advocacy of electoral reforms and follow-up to international and domestic recommendations;
- Developing innovative citizen outreach tools to increase voter understanding on complex election-related matters; and
- Increasing citizen participation and protecting voters’ rights in minority-populated and remote areas through promoting civic and voter education.
Voter/civic education activities are carried out in partnership with the Society of Democratic Women of Marneuli (SDWM), and by up to four other regional and grassroots organizations that receive mini-grants within the project. The project is co-funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
