The Tbilisi Sakrebulo (Georgian: თბილისის საკრებულო, romanized: tbilisis sak'rebulo) is a

representative body in the city government of Tbilisi, Georgia. It is also known in English as the
Tbilisi City Council or Tbilisi Assembly. Sakrebulos were established as the legislative branch of local
government not only in Tbilisi, but throughout Georgia, by reforms instituted in 1991 as the country
declared independence from the Soviet Union.[1]

The members of the Sakrebulo are selected through a mixed electoral system. Of the 37 seats, 25 are
filled through direct elections in local districts of the city. The remaining 12 members are chosen by
political parties and are apportioned according to their support citywide.[2] [3] The Sakrebulo elected
in 2006 had 34 members from the ruling National Movement - Democrats, one from the Georgian
Labour Party, one from the party Industry will save Georgia, and one from a coalition of the
Conservative Party of Georgia and the Republican Party. [4]

Four of the current 37 members are women, all from the National Movement party. [5]
