Georgia to elect president on December 14
Georgia’s parliament set December 14 as the date for selecting a new president, as lawmakers continue to meet despite an opposition boycott over the results of last month’s elections, Bloomberg reported.
The president will be chosen by the country’s Electoral College consisting of 300 people, including all members of parliament, under constitutional changes taking effect this year. A candidate needs two-thirds of the vote to win.
If no candidate secures 200 votes, a second round of balloting will be held between the two highest vote-getters.
