This is an automatically translated description

The Code incorporates the provisions of the main legislative acts that regulated issues related to the electoral process before the adoption of the Electoral Code. These are the Laws of Ukraine "On Election of the President of Ukraine", "On Election of People's Deputies of Ukraine", "On Local Elections"; (some provisions of the latter law remain temporarily in force, i.e. this law has lost its force, except for the provisions on organising and holding repeat, interim, additional elections and replacement of deputies elected in a multi-mandate constituency whose powers were terminated early, which are valid until the next regular or early elections of deputies of local councils, on the basis of the Electoral Code).

We would like to draw attention to the main innovation of the Code, i.e. elections to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine are held under the proportional system with open regional lists, which allows voters to influence who from the parties will get into the Rada.

The commentary will be useful for election participants, future parliamentary candidates, their assistants, proxies, observers at polling stations, members of polling stations, counting commissions, and other persons involved in the organisation of the election process on a professional or voluntary basis.
