Parliamentary elections were held in Georgia on 8 October 2016 to elect the 150 members of Parliament. The ruling Georgian Dream coalition, led by Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili, sought a second term in office. Opposition parties included the former ruling party and main opposition, the United National Movement (UNM); the Free Democrats, formerly a member of the Georgian Dream coalition and led by Irakli Alasania; and the Alliance of Patriots of Georgia.
Georgian Dream won 115 seats, an increase of 30 seats, while the United National Movement was reduced to 27 seats.




Electoral system


The 150 members of the unicameral Parliament were elected by two methods: 77 by proportional representation in a single nationwide constituency with an electoral threshold of 5%, and 73 by a two-round system in single-member constituencies with majority rule, requiring the winner to get over 50% (in the previous election the first-placed candidate had to pass a 30% threshold to win a constituency seat).
The boundaries of the constituencies were re-drawn to reduce malapportionment. Previously, the size of electorates ranged from fewer than 6,000 voters in one district to over 150,000 voters in another.
The elections did not take place in constituencies in the breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
