Presidential elections were held in Georgia on 28 October 2018. As no candidate received more than 50% of the vote in the first round, a runoff between Salome Zourabichvili and Grigol Vashadze was held on 28 November 2018.[2] Salome Zourabichvili won with around 60% of the vote in the second round[3] and took office on 16 December 2018.

Following amendments to the constitution in 2017, the 2018 elections were the last direct presidential vote; presidents will subsequently be elected by a 300-member College of Electors. In view of these changes, the President was elected for a term of six years in 2018.[4]
