Georgia's CEC Chairperson Will Be Allowed to Carry Weapons: Details

The Chairperson of Georgia's Central Election Commission (CEC) will be permitted to carry a weapon ahead of local government elections. This was reported by local media. The Georgian Parliament will soon discuss the relevant amendments to the 'Law on Weapons'.

In addition to the CEC Chairperson, the right to carry service weapons will also be granted to members of the CEC who do not have any restrictions imposed upon them. It is important to note that the carrying of service weapons in Georgia is strictly regulated by rules governing their use. Individuals are allowed to use service weapons only in the case of a direct threat to life.
