• Georgia has a unicameral Parliament, or Umaghiesi Sabcho, which has 235 seats.

• Supreme Council members are elected by popular vote to serve four-year terms; 85 members are elected by a plurality system and 150 by a proportional representation party-list system with a 7% threshold to gain parliamentary seats. (Within the plurality system, the 10 members elected in 1992 will maintain their mandates until the territorial dispute in Abkhazia is resolved).
• Under both electoral systems, at least 50% of the registered electors in each constituency must have voted for the election to be deemed valid. If no candidate has obtained at least 33% of the vote within the plurality system, a runoff is held between the top two candidates.
