InterPressNews are holding an online vote on who should be mayor of Tbilisi. They have the same poll (but different totals) on both their English and their Georgian (Kartuli) pages - but while several hundred have voted on the Kartuli pages, only three (one for sitting mayor Gigi Ugulava and two for Our Georgia Free Democrats challenger Irakli Alasania) people have voted ion the English pages.

The Georgian vote is much more lively (see graphic - which is from around 14.20 GET Mayor vote graphic from IPN website today).

For those of you struggling with the script, the totals at that time were:

Irakli Alasania (ირაკლი ალასანია) 273 votes
Zviad Dzidziguri (Conservative Party - ზვიად ძიძიგური) 146 votes
Gigi Ugulava (გიგი უგულავა) 115 votes
Koba Davitashvili (People's Party - კობა დავითაშვილი) 15 votes
Davit Iakobidze (Democratic Party - დავით იაკობიძე) 11 votes.

Update: They also have the poll on their Russian language pages, but only seven people have voted there.
