The Central Election Commission has satisfied OPORA's appeal concerning deployment of observers during the first election of village, settlement and city heads as well as the first elections to village, settlement and city councils of united territorial communities, scheduled for 30 April 2017.

It has passed the corresponding resolution on 17 March 2017, in accordance with the Article 66 of the Law of Ukraine on Local Elections.

The next step is registration of an observer by the corresponding territorial election commission.

We would like to emphasize that observers play an important role as electoral subjects, as long as democratic and transparent elections are impossible without civic observation.

The CEC has appointed the first elections in 47 communities for 30 April in Vinnytsia (3), Volyn (5), Donetsk (1), Zakarpattia (2), Zaporizhia (8), Ivano-Frankivsk (1), Kirovohrad (2), Luhansk (1), Lviv (3), Mykolaiv (1), Odesa (1), Poltava (2), Rivne (1), Sumy (4), Kharkiv (1), Kherson (2), Cherkasy (4), Chernivtsi (2), and Chernihiv (3) oblasts.

The election process has started on 11 March 2017, based on the calendar plan.

We should mention that Civil Network OPORA has a hotline (044) 591-44-44 (Call charges equal to your service provider rates). You are welcome to call in case of any problems or to receive a consultation.
