The 31 October Georgian parliamentary elections will be conducted under a new electoral system with 120 members of parliament proportionally elected in a single nationwide constituency and 30 elected in single-member constituencies. An online workshop for the staff of the Communications Commission (CC), the Georgian media regulatory authority, on international standards related to media monitoring during elections was held on from 3-6 August. During this workshop, participants were trained on how to monitor political and electoral coverage, debates and talk-shows, and advertising in accordance with the international media monitoring methodology and aligned to the main principles of media pluralism. The workshop focused on enhancing CC’s methodology, particularly when it comes to the ability of CC's monitors to conduct a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the media coverage in the run-up to the upcoming elections. The workshop was followed by an intensive on-the-job mentoring which took place in the first week of September, at the launch of CC's media monitoring. The actual implementation of the media monitoring methodology and the results of media monitoring are the responsibility of CC. The consultancy was supported by the Council of Europe in the framework of its program “Supporting Freedom of Media and Internet in Georgia”.
