Just as the polling stations closed on October 30, at 20:00 pm, for the mayoral runoffs in 5 major cities of Georgia, two TV channels issued conflicting results of exit polls: openly pro-government Imedi TV and opposition, government-critical Mtavari TV. Margin of error is reported as +/- 2.5-3.0%, and the results are recorded for 18:00 pm.
