2016-07-18 On July 18, former head of Adjara Government Levan Varshalomidze started signing individual agreements with a certain group of voters. According to those agreements, the UNM undertook to implement the program of social housing in 2017-2020 after coming into power. The program envisages building of 40 apartment buildings with total of 2800 apartments, for the following three groups of population: 1. Grade I and grade II victims of eroded zones in the highlands of Adjara; 2. Those who live in barracks of Batumi or in run-down buildings; 3. Dwellers of the so-called Dream Town. According to Varshalomidze, the project with total value of GEL 120m. will be implemented with financial support from local budgets and donor organizations.9 However, the agreements do not specify sources of funding. Signing of individual agreements is problematic, because voters may view the agreements as binding, not as an expression of candidate’s will. Mr. Varshalomidze’s actions amount to a negative form of influencing voters as singed individual agreement may create impression of liability among voters to cast a vote in favor of a particular party or a candidate.
