Any disqualifications from standing for election should be subject to an independent and effective appeals procedure.
Administrative proceedings
If you are directly prohibited from running for office by the Central Election Commission, you may appeal the decision in an administrative court in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Code. Political parties, initiative groups of voters, and their representatives have the right to file a lawsuit in court regarding matters related to their electoral registration by the Central Election Commission (CEC), including the registration of their representatives.
Similarly, you may complain about the actual conduct of an institution (rather than an administrative act) which prevents you from freely standing for election in accordance with the procedure laid down in the Administrative Procedure Law. If you would like to complain about the actual conduct of an election commission or polling station commission, you may do so before the Central Election Commission. If you would like to complain about the actual conduct of the Central Election Commission, you may do so before the administrative court.
Constitutional Court
If you are prohibited from running for office by law and you believe that this is in violation of your human rights, you may also complain to the Constitutional Court. The Constitutional Court may accordingly declare the legal regulation which restricts your right to stand for election as being incompatible with the Constitution.
Complaints to international human rights bodies
If you believe that the violation of your rights has not been remedied by Georgian institutions or courts, you should submit a complaint to international and European institutions, such as the European Court of Human Rights or the UN Human Rights Committee.
