The tenth convocation consists of 150 deputies. According to the June 29 constitutional amendment project, the 2020 parliamentary election were held with a mixed electoral system (120 proportional, 30 majoritarian) and a 1% threshold. The bill implies the so-called 40% locking mechanism as well. In particular, a party that would receive less than 40.54% support in the 2020 parliamentary elections under the proportional system would not be able to form the government independently.[1]
9 political parties crossed the threshold established by the electoral legislation. Georgian Dream received 60 proportional and 30 (all) majoritarian mandates and won the parliamentary majority.[2] The opposition parties declared the elections rigged and refused to enter the parliament. They demanded to hold new elections.[3] The boycott ended after the parties signed agreement on April 9, 2021.[4]
