2, 060, 412 people, representing 58,94% of the total number of registered voters, voted in the parliamentary elections across Georgia at 8 p.m, according to the Central Election Commission (CEC).

Official preliminary results are expected soon as 3,000 polling stations closed at around 8 p.m.

The three exit polls showed dramatically contrasting results, leading both the ruling party and the opposition to celebrate victory.

These are the first proportional elections, with a 5% threshold that parties must pass to fill 150 seats of the Parliament.
