During the visit to Yerevan, delegation members observed the opening of polling stations, the voting process and the closing procedures on election day.

They also met Armenia's Central Electoral Commission leadership and received briefings on the preparations and organisational measures undertaken to conduct the parliamentary elections.

Kalandarishvili said Armenia's election administration carried out extensive work in preparation for the vote.

The visit also provided an opportunity for Georgian election officials to meet representatives of electoral administrations from other countries and discuss prospects for future cooperation. Meetings were also held with international election observation organisations.
