Elections in Georgia gives information on elections and election results in Georgia. An election is a process in which a vote is held to elect candidates to an office. It is the mechanism by which a democracy fills elective offices in the legislature, and sometimes the executive and judiciary, and in which electorates choose local government officials.
Georgia elects on national level a head of state - the president - and a legislature. The president is elected for a five year term by the people. The Parliament of Georgia (Sak'art'velos Parlamenti), formerly known as the Umaghlesi Sabcho (Supreme Council) has 235 members, elected for a four year term, 150 seats by proportional representation and 75 in single-seat constituencies and 10 members represent displaced persons from the separatist region of Abkhazia.
Georgia has a multi-party system, with at the moment only one strong party.
