Members of the public movement United Neutral Georgia, affiliated with the ruling Georgian Dream, stated that following the elections, along with the banning of opposition parties, "they must begin to expose and prosecute" their voters. Approximately 300,000 individuals "have been sustaining criminal political forces for years", they said.

"After the elections, along with the declaration of the National Movement as unconstitutional and their legal convictions, the voters of the Collective National Movement must be exposed and tried.
Every voter of the radical opposition must share legal responsibility so that no one in this country dares to support an anti-state, foreign-run agency or allow further crimes to be committed.
We must understand that every person who votes for the Collective National Movement bears legal, political, and moral responsibility! Voting for criminals is a crime," stated members of Neutral Georgia.
According to the members of the public movement, individuals who agitate for, support, and vote for the National Movement and its "various divisions" are "accomplices, helpers, in other words, the same criminals" in their ongoing crime.
"It follows that there are all forms of complicity in crime and specific subjects outlined in Articles 22-24 of the Criminal Code of Georgia: perpetrators of crimes (Article 22) are representatives of the National Movement and its divisions. Second, aides in crime (part three of Article 24) are those who agitate for, support, and vote for the criminal political party (the perpetrator) and thereby contribute to its commission of crimes," stated the statement from United Neutral Georgia.
On the 12th anniversary of being in power, Georgian Dream promises its supporters that if it obtains a constitutional majority, i.e., 113 mandates in the new parliament, it will initiate a legal process "as a result of which both the National Movement and all its satellite and successor parties will be banned." As Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze explained, in addition to the National Movement, they intend to ban opposition parties such as Strategy Aghmashenebeli, European Georgia, Ahali, Girchi - More Freedom, Droa, Lelo, and Gakharia - For Georgia.
