Plans

Remaining elections

Two elections remain to be fully scraped and digitized. Once that work is complete, the archive will cover the entire run of major Georgian elections without gaps, and the statistical tools on each detail page will apply uniformly across the full dataset rather than only where digitization is finished.

Distribution graphs

The distribution graphs are due for a significant expansion. The current single turnout distribution will be joined by additional graphs breaking down results by party and candidate. This makes it much easier to visually identify anomalous patterns and compare the shape of each election against the others โ€” a richer picture than a single curve can give.

Urban/rural and ethnic minority split

A particularly important planned addition is a proper urban/rural split and an ethnic minority breakdown at the precinct level. These two dimensions often tell very different stories from the national aggregate, and they are essential context for interpreting the statistical signals the archive is built around. Surfacing them requires tagging each precinct with its settlement type and demographic profile, which is work currently in progress.

Electoral map

On the geographic side, coordinates are being collected for every individual polling station. Once that dataset is assembled, it will be possible to build a true electoral map โ€” placing each precinct's result on the actual landscape, showing not just which party won a region but exactly where and by how much, down to the station level.

Ongoing data quality

Polishing the existing data is a continuous effort that runs in parallel with everything else. Every round of manual review catches discrepancies between the digitized figures and the original scanned protocols, and those corrections feed back into the published datasets. The archive is a living document and will keep getting more accurate over time.
