The oppositional "United National Movement" (UNM) Party has video evidence of violations and requires the Prosecutor's Office to detain people suspected of fraud. That was announced by Levan Bezhashvili, one of the party leaders.

The election commissions received 307 complaints committed during the voting. On December 5, the United States expressed the concern about the violations committed during the election in Georgia.
