The Interagency Task Force for Free and Fair Elections (IATF) convened to review reports from representatives of the Central Election Commission (CEC) regarding the registration process of election candidates and the establishment of polling stations in other countries.

During the session, relevant agencies also provided updates on their responses to issues identified through media monitoring. The commission sought further clarification about a statement made by Salome Zurabishvili, which proposed the creation of a coordination platform within the Presidential Administration on Election Day, October 26. However, since the President's representative was not present at the meeting, the commission plans to invite him to the next session for additional discussion.

The session was chaired by the Minister of Justice, Rati Bregadze, and attended by Deputy Minister Beka Dzamashvili, along with heads of various public agencies, IATF members, representatives of international and local monitoring organizations, and political parties

The IATF, established under the Election Code, aims to prevent violations of election legislation by public officials and respond to any infractions. It is led by Minister Rati Bregadze.
