Georgia will bar citizens abroad from voting in parliamentary elections, requiring them to return home to vote, according to Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili.
The change, part of a broader election code overhaul, aims to prevent foreign interference and strengthen vote integrity, citing concerns over external influence and biased information.
The move follows the abolition of a previous institution established under EU recommendations and aligns Georgia with countries like Ireland, Israel, and Malta.
Nearly 96,000 Georgians were registered to vote overseas in 2024.
