The voter turnout at parliamentary elections in Georgia as of 17:00 is 53%, the Georgian Central Voting Committee spokeswoman Eka Azarashvili reported at a special press briefing.

The experts consider that record voter turnout will be registered at these elections.

Parliamentary elections are being held in Georgia. Around 14 parties and two political blocs are taking part in the elections. Parliament will receive more authority in 2013 after amendments to the

Constitution take force resulting in the president's power being reduced.

The elections will be declared valid if the number of voters reaches one-third.
