Nino Dolidze, CEC: The CEC has adopted amendments that limit the ability of observers to observe the voting process fully. They will no longer be in a position to detect individuals trying to vote for others.

Changes to voting rules were approved by the Central Election Commission yesterday. This was noted on social media by Nino Dolidze, head of the International Society for Fair Elections and Democracy.

According to Dolidze, anyone allowed inside a polling station cannot ask voters to show their ID. This is causing concern as it will make it harder to catch people trying to vote on behalf of others.

This change makes it more difficult for observers to prevent election fraud.
