Legislative elections were held in Adjara, an autonomous republic within Georgia, on 23 June and 10 July 1991. Adjara elected its 78-member parliament, Supreme Council, in the region's 1st local legislative election since Georgia declared independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.

Background

[edit]

In October 1990, the first multi-party elections were held in the Georgian SSR, which saw the pro-independence Round Table—Free Georgia bloc wining the majority of seats. In November 1990, the Presidium of the Supreme Council of Adjarian ASSR started working on the legislative framework for the first multi-party elections to be held in the autonomous republic. In December 1990, it was renamed into the Autonomous Republic of Adjara. On 4 January 1991, the Supreme Council of Adjara approved the new electoral law. The new law was identical to the Georgian electoral law used for the 1990 Georgian general election. The election date changed two times before ultimately being set on 24 June 1991. The Supreme Council was to be elected for the 5-year term.[1]

Electoral system

[edit]

Out of 78 members of the Supreme Council, 40 were elected by the proportional system and another 48 in the single-member electoral districts. The elections were held based on the January 1991 electoral law. The electoral thershold was set on 4% for the proportional system and 50% for the majoritarian. 14 single-member districts were established in the city of Batumi, 10 in Kobuleti District, 9 in Khelvachauri District, 2 in Keda, 2 in Shuakhevi district and 3 in Khulo district.[1]
