The tenth convocation consists of 150 deputies. According to the June 29 constitutional amendment project, the 2020 parliamentary election were held with a mixed electoral system (120 proportional, 30 majoritarian) and a 1% threshold. The bill implies the so-called 40% locking mechanism as well. In particular, a party that would receive less than 40.54% support in the 2020 parliamentary elections under the proportional system would not be able to form the government independently.
9 political parties crossed the threshold established by the electoral legislation. Georgian Dream received 60 proportional and 30 (all) majoritarian mandates and won the parliamentary majority. The opposition parties declared the elections rigged and refused to enter the parliament. They demanded to hold new elections. The boycott ended after the parties signed agreement on April 9, 2021.
