Will you vote today?
Wednesday, May 21
“I’ll definitely vote. This is one of those days when I feel like I’m a person with some rights, and that those rights matter. Maybe my vote won’t count at all, but I still feel responsible to go and declare my will.”
Bakuri, chauffeur, 51
“I’m sick and tired of these lies and these facades of elections. Does it really make a difference whether or not I go? In the end, the result is the same: the government wins a majority.”
Leri, pensioner, 71
“I’ll go and vote for the United Opposition. I know, maybe it’s the wrong choices, but I really feel that they worry about our country and are not as cold-hearted as our officials.”
Nana, chemistry teacher, 38
“Yes, of course I will go and vote. I can’t tell you who I’m voting for, but I’m sure there will be lots of changes after the elections.”
Nana, housewife, 40
“I would go if it had any effect on the results, but nothing will change and that’s why I never vote. I don’t trust any politicians. They talk and talk with no results.”
Nodar, pensioner, 69
“I will go and vote for Misha’s [Saakashvili] party. Georgia has never had such an active and intelligent president, and I’m sure he knows best. The [ruling] National Movement will win the elections.”
Keti, student, 20
“I don’t want to tell you if I’m voting or not, and I don’t want to tell you who I’m voting for. Write down that I haven’t decided on anything yet.”
Giorgi, distributor, 27
“There is no sense in going to the elections. They [the National Movement] will still announce the results that they prefer.”
Lamara, secretary, 37
“I will go and vote for the National Movement, as I always do. I can’t say that I love them, but they’re still better than the others.”
Soso, technical equipment repairer, 26
