Ukrainian electoral system.
Under current law 225 members of the Verkhovna Rada
are elected by nationwide closed party-list proportional representation with 5%
electoral election threshold and the other 225 seats elected in constituencies with
a first-past-the-post electoral system in one round (candidate with the highest
vote total wins).21 parties take part in the election in the nationwide
party-list. 26 constituencies from 225 are suspended due to the March
2014 annexation of Crimea by Russia and the occupation of parts of Donetsk
Oblast and Luhansk Oblast by
separatists (since April 2014), because of then roughly 12
percent of voting-age citizens cannot participate in the elections.
Candidates had until 20 June to submit documents to
the Central Election Commission of Ukraine to
register as candidates for the position of deputy of the Verkhovna Rada. On 25
June 2019, the Central Election Comission ended its registration process. It registered 5,845 candidates for the elections: 3,171
candidates in the single-member constituencies and 2,674 candidates in the
single nationwide constituency with 22 parties.
