In practice, “OSCE/ODIHR election observation mission reports from past elections have consistently identified the [mis]use of administrative resources in Georgian elections as a significant problem. This problem is due in part to the lack of clarity and specificity in the legislation, as reproduced in the draft Code. The draft Code provisions blur the line between the state and political parties and fall short of OSCE commitments. The Venice Commission and the OSCE/ODIHR recommend revising the provisions on the misuse of administrative resources. Additionally, the last Evaluation Report by the Council of Europe Group of States against Corruption (GRECO) on transparency of party funding in Georgia raises similar concerns and “recommends to take further measures to prevent the misuse of all types of administrative resources in election campaigns”. As a consequence, the Inter-agency Commission (IAC) was set up to administrate the misuse of administrative resources during the electoral campaign. The IAC is a body composed of senior officials of the executive mandated to consider complaints or allegations of violations by civil servants. Mr Zurab Kharatishvili, former President of the Central Election Commission, highlighted the efficiency of such mechanism. It played a pro-active role in deterring campaign violations through issuing 12 recommendations on corrective measures. However, certain recommendations raised concern over the actual scope of the IAC’s authority, which at times exceeded its mandate and challenged the principle of separation of powers.
