The Parliament of Georgia is the representative body of the Georgia, the only state legislative authority, being a unicameral. It is made up of 150 elected deputies on lists, for a period of 4 years. Parliament is elected by universal vote.

Notes

  1. All four opposition blocs that won seats in the 2024 Georgian parliamentary election have said they will not join the new Parliament to protest what they call election fraud.[3]
  2. Georgia's parliament voted to cancel the mandates of 49 opposition MPs from the Coalition for Change, Unity – National Movement, and Strong Georgia blocs after the parties asked for their parliamentary powers to be taken away.[4]
