Public opinion survey results broadcast by Rustavi 2 TV were based on Edison’s poll of eligible voters in Tbilisi, 18 years old and older, conducted from during September 22- October 2. A total of 1200 eligible voters were interviewed. Edison Research used random sampling methodology and conducted face-to-face interviews in respondents’ households. All eligible voters in Tbilisi had an equal chance of being selected. Margin of error for total sample was +/- 3 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level.

The upcoming exit poll will mark the third time Edison Research has carried out exit polling in Georgia. Edison’s polling team has previously covered the 2010 Tbilisi Mayoral election and the national election for Parliament in 2012.
