%X The Georgian political party system has been marked by radical polarization between the Georgian Dream
(GD) and the United National Movement (UNM) since 2012. However, the Parliamentary Elections in 2016
have shown growing indecision among voters, which indicates dissatisfaction with both GD and UNM as
well as the need for a third alternative. Examining the profile of undecided voters and their behavior during
the 2016 October elections gives insight into the prospects of a multi-party system in Georgia. However,
it seems that despite the considerable need expressed by society, a single and reliable third force is not
visible to most voters.
