Georgia's Central Election Commission (CEC) will take a decision on the referendum on early parliamentary elections until August 22.

An initiative group, which includes human rights activists -- Nana Kakabadze and Gela Nikolaishvili -- offered on August 11 to hold a referendum, the CEC reported.

Referendum will ask a question "Do you agree Georgia to held early parliamentary elections in 2014?"

Once the Georgian CEC takes a positive decision in this regard, the initiative group will begin collecting necessary 200,000 signatures of supporters.

The group grounded its initiative of holding the early parliamentary elections with "unequal distribution of power in the country's parliament.

Earlier, Georgian Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili has dismissed the possibility of holding early parliamentary elections after circulation of some media reports in this connection.

Recall that an initiative group also applied to the Central Election Commission of Georgia on July 23, demanding a referendum on early parliamentary elections in 2014.

President Mikheil Saakashvili's United National Movement lost the October 1, 2012 parliamentary elections, gaining only 67 out of 150 seats in parliament and became the opposition, while the rival Georgian Dream led by Bidzina Ivanishvili won the election, gaining 83 seats.
