Summary/Abstract: Supporting the development of consistent, well-formulated, and thematically relevant election platforms is one of the major objectives in Georgia’s democratization effort. The Eastern European Center for Multiparty Democracy (EECMD) is playing a special role in this effort. Since the 2012 parliamentary election, their www.partiebi.ge website has been forwarding special questions on topics of public importance to political groups participating in the elections and making their responses easily accessible to voters. On this website, citizens can easily compare competitors’ political views and action plans on individual topics. This approach has another advantage – political leaders and their parties must respond to each question whether they discuss a specific topic in their platforms or not.
