Via Franak Viachorka in the village of Tulari in Sagarajo region: He saw groups of voters were brought in minibuses. The people on the bus were not speaking Georgian (it is an ethnic-Azeri village). Members of the election commission were translating the ballots for the voters -- which is against Georgian election rules. It is not illegal for the ballots to be translated, but it cannot be done by officials. RFE/RL corr. spoke with some the voters, and they said were "ordered" to vote for group #5 on the ballot -- the UNM slate.
I made a test with ink for marking voters. After 3 minutes o washing hands with soap it dissapear@ Tullari instagr.am/p/QPHnsNLvVG/
