The Central Election Commission (CEC) of Georgia has successfully passed another international control audit in the field of election management, according to a statement released by the CEC.
The audit, conducted within the framework of the international quality management standard ISO 9001:2015, was carried out in two stages. In May 2024, an internal audit was performed by "Management Systems" LLC, followed by a remote control audit by international auditors in June. Both audits confirmed that the CEC's operations are in full compliance with the ISO standards, allowing the CEC to retain its international certification.
The audit report praised the CEC's adherence to quality management standards, stating, "News are constantly introduced in the election process and quality-oriented, transparency-oriented services are constantly provided to the interested parties. It is worth noting that the organization constantly takes care of improvement and implements a number of innovative projects."
The CEC first received its ISO 9001:2015 certification in 2019, which verified that its quality management system met the international standard's requirements. The successful completion of the recent audits reaffirms the CEC's commitment to maintaining high standards in election management, monitoring, and reporting.
The statement from the CEC highlighted the organization's ongoing efforts to enhance the election process through continuous improvement and innovation, ensuring transparency and quality in its services.
