Parliament adopts law on electoral system at local elections in first reading PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 01 July 2010 17:55

The Ukrainian Parliament today adopted a bill (No 6601) in its first reading on the electoral system to be used at local elections in Ukraine. The draft bill was tabled by Oleksandr Yefremov, an MP of the pro-presidential Party of Regions faction. It proposes a mixed system of proportional voting and first-past-the-post voting. A total of 246 MPs voted in favor of the bill.

 

However, MPs of the opposition Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc and Our Ukraine People's Self-Defence Bloc were critical of the bill's provisions, saying that some of them restricted access to the political process. Earlier today Parliament adopted a resolution setting the election of deputies in local councils as well as mayoral elections in towns, cities and villages for October 31 2010.
