A double referendum was held in Georgia on 5 January 2008, alongside presidential elections. One question was a binding referendum on whether to bring forward the 2008 parliamentary elections from October to April/May.[1] The second was a non-binding advisory referendum on joining NATO.[2][3] Both proposals were approved with over 75% in favour. Parliamentary elections were subsequently held on 21 May.
