The ruling party, Georgian Dream, is seeking a fourth term in office.
The party has in the last two years shifted towards pro-Russian rhetoric, accusing Western countries of seeking to drag Georgia into war with Russia, as well as deepening ties with China.
Opinion polls show that Georgians are broadly supportive of joining the EU and NATO, but are also keen to avoid conflict with Russia, and deeply conservative on issues such as LGBT rights, Reuters said.
