  • Policy Proposals to Regulate the Status of the Local Council Members (Policy Paper)
    Policy Proposals to Regulate the Status of the Local Council Members (Policy Paper) Authors: Kateryna Handzyuk, Serhiy Nikitenko JULY, 2017 Abstract The local elections in Ukraine conducted in October 2015 under a new law caused a number of problems and quite distorted the representation balance. In addition, the innovations introduced by the Law on the Status of Local Council Members into the council members recall procedure and mechanism based on the people’s initiative instigated tensions and conflicts on the ground. By analysing the modern Ukrainian practices, the authors propose the way out of the current complicated situation through amendment of the legislation and development of efficient instruments to regulate the representation problem with one of the proposals being assignment of each local council member to a certain constituency and making them accountable to its voters.

  • Ukraine Local Elections, 25 October 2015
    ELECTION OBSERVATION DELEGATION TO THE LOCAL ELECTIONS IN UKRAINE (25 October 2015) Report by Andrej PLENKOVIĆ, ChaIr of the Delegation Annexes: A - List of Participants B - EP Delegation press statement C - IEOM Preliminary Findings and Conclusions on 1st round and on 2nd round 1 IntroductIon On 10 September 2015, the Conference of Presidents authorised the sending of an Election Observation Delegation, composed of 7 members, to observe the local elections in Ukraine scheduled for 25 October 2015. The Election Observation Delegation was composed of Andrej Plenkovič (EPP, Croatia), Anna Maria Corazza Bildt (EPP, Sweden), Tonino Picula (S&D, Croatia), Clare Moody (S&D, United Kingdom), Jussi Halla-aho (ECR, Finland), Kaja Kallas (ALDE, Estonia) and Miloslav Ransdorf (GUE, Czech Republic). It conducted its activities in Ukraine between 23 and 26 October, and was integrated in the International Election Observation Mission (IEOM) organised by ODIHR, together with the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities. On election-day, members were deployed in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa and Dnipropetrovsk. Programme of the DelegatIon In the framework of the International Election Observation Mission, the EP Delegation cooperated with the Delegation of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities, headed by Ms Gudrun Mosler-Törnström (Austria), while the OSCE/ODIHR long-term Election Observation Mission headed by Tana de Zulueta (Italy). The cooperation with the OSCE/ODIHR and the Congress went as usual and a compromise on the joint statement was reached (see annex B). Due to the fact that only two parliamentary delegations were present to observe the local elections, and had rather different expectations as regards meetings to be organised, it was agreed between all parties to limit the joint programme to a briefing by the core team of the OSCE/ODIHR.

After all, the oblast consists of 9 single-member districts that translate in 9 seats at the national parliament. When compared with 17 seats allocated to Dnipropetrovsk oblast, 13 – to Kharkiv, 12 to Donetsk, or Lviv oblast, and 11 to Odessa oblast, this does not look impressive. The power struggle in Kyiv oblast might seem of limited strategic importance. Such a conclusion is, however, erroneous as Kyiv oblast has several distinctive features, which makes it central in power competition and power distribution after each election. Firstly, the oblast is adjacent to the ultimate powerhouse of national politics, the city of Kyiv. The nine above-mentioned electoral districts comprise regional town areas which encircle the capital, set its administrative boundaries, contain its growth, limit the city’s capabilities to manage logistics and to provide infrastructural services. In fact, the lack of capacities forced the mayor of Kyiv to initiate the program to create a “Kyiv metropolitan area” which should bring closer housing, transportation, and administration across the city of Kyiv and the oblast emulating the Metropolis of Greater Paris.

    OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights Election Observation Mission Ukraine Local Elections, 25 October 2015 INTERIM REPORT 9 September – 8 October 2015 9 October 2015 I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • On 17 July 2015, the Ukrainian parliament (Verkhovna Rada) scheduled local elections for 25 October 2015. Local elections will not be held in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the city of Sevastopol and, as described in a resolution of the Central Election Commission (CEC), in certain areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions (oblasts) which are declared by the parliament as temporarily occupied territories. In addition, the CEC declared holding elections not possible in some territories of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts that are under the control of Ukrainian authorities. • The election law introduced three electoral systems for the local elections, increased the threshold to five per cent, limited candidacy rights of independent candidates, provided for recall procedures, and introduced the requirement of at least 30 per cent representation of each gender on a party list, but did not provide for any sanctions for political parties that fail to comply with this rule. The law does not provide for voting by internally displaced persons (IDPs). Delimitation of constituencies, as well as absence of permissible deviation and significant fluctuation of number of voters among the constituencies was criticized by some interlocutors. The process of the adoption and the complexity of the law was criticized by most of OSCE/ODIHR EOM interlocutors. • The elections are administered by the CEC, 10,778 Territorial Election Commissions (TECs) and some 30,000 Precinct Election Commissions (PECs). The CEC is to ensure uniform application of the legal framework.
