Elections in Ukraine are held to choose the President (head of state), Verkhovna Rada (legislature body), and local governments. Referendums may be held on special occasions. Ukraine has a multi-party system, with numerous parties in which often not a single party has a chance of gaining power alone, and parties must work with each other to form coalition governments. ==Legislation== Elections in Ukraine are held to choose the President (head of state) and Verkhovna Rada (legislature). The president is elected for a five-year term. The Verkhovna Rada has 450 members and is also elected for a five-year term, but may be dissolved earlier by the president in the case of a failure to form a government.〔〔(Q&A: Ukrainian parliamentary election ), BBC News (23 October 2012)〕〔 (Law of Ukraine "On Elections of People's Deputies of Ukraine " dated 17 November 2011 ), Verkhovna Rada〕 Currently the Verkhovna Rada is elected using a mixed election system. Half of the representatives are elected from national closed party lists distributed between the parties using the Hare quota with a 5% threshold. The remaining half are elected from constituencies using first-past-the-post voting. This system was adopted for the 2012 elections and was also used for the most recent (2014) election, as a new draft law moving to electing all members using open party lists failed to gather necessary support in the Rada. A snap poll must have a voter turnout higher than 50%. Ukraine’s election law forbids outside financing of political parties or campaigns.〔(Hacked PR documents accelerate political war ), Kyiv Post (11 January 2013)〕 Presidential candidates must had residence in Ukraine for the past ten years prior to election day.〔(Vitali Klitschko says intends to run for president in Ukraine ), Interfax-Ukraine (24 October 2013) (Parliament passes law that could prevent Klitschko from running for president ), Interfax-Ukraine (24 October 2013)〕 The election laws were slightly modified on 20 December 2013.〔(Yanukovych signs EU integration law on elections ), Interfax-Ukraine (20 December 2013)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elections in Ukraine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
