"On 24 December 2020 the Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia requested two opinions of the Venice Commission on the following legislative texts:
- the draft amendments to the Election Code, the Organic Law on the Political Association of Citizens and the Rules of Procedure of Parliament;
- draft Article 791 of the Electoral Code (revocation of party registration).
The draft opinions will be submitted for adoption by the March 2021 plenary session of the Venice Commission which is scheduled for 18-20 March 2021", - InterPressNews was told by the Council of Europe's press service.

The first legislative initiative envisages the suspension / abolition of state funding for political parties that do not fully claim parliamentary mandates. As for the second legislative package, the initiative envisages the abolition of the election registration of a political party whose pre-election campaign participant will be a political leader who does not meet the constitutional requirements for active voting rights.
