Electoral system
The 65 seats in the Supreme Soviet were allocated to different ethnic groups; 28 were reserved for Abkhazians, 26 for Georgians and 11 for the other ethnic groups.[2]
Aftermath
The Supreme Soviet was only able to approve legislation in some areas of policy with a 75% majority. Following the elections, the bloc of Georgian representatives repeatedly rejected decisions, and in June 1992, began boycotting the Soviet.[3]
