Parliamentary elections were held in Ukraine on 27 March 1994, with a second round between 2 and 10 April.〔Nohlen, D & Stöver, P (2010) ''Elections in Europe: A data handbook'', p1976 ISBN 978-3-8329-5609-7〕 However, 112 seats were remained unfilled, and a succession of by-elections were required in July, August, November and December 1994 and more in December 1995 and April 1996.〔 Three hundred (300) seats or two thirds (2/3) of the parliament were required to be filled for the next convocation. In what were the first elections held after Ukraine broke away from the Soviet Union, the Communist Party of Ukraine emerged as the largest party in the Verkhovna Rada, winning 86 of the 338 seats decided in the first two rounds.〔Nohlen & Stöver, p1991〕 This election was the result of a compromise between the President and the Verkhovna Rada, which was reached on 24 September 1993 because of a political crisis caused by mass protests and strikes particularly from students and miners. On that day, the Rada adopted a decree to organize parliamentary elections ahead of schedule, and ahead of scheduled presidential elections in June. ==Electoral system (50% rule)== As in the previous this election took place according to the majoritarian electoral system in 450 electoral districts containing several precincts.〔(Against All Odds: Aiding Political Parties in Georgia and Ukraine (UvA Proefschriften) ) by Max Bader, Vossiuspers UvA, 2010, ISBN 90-5629-631-0 (page 93)〕 Each region was assigned a proportion of districts depending on its population. Hence the most mandates were received by the more populated eastern regions of Ukraine, particularly the regions of Donets basin such as Donetsk Oblast and Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. In order to be elected a candidate needed to obtain more than 50% of votes and in order for the election to be valid more than 50% of registered voters needed to vote. If no candidate obtained more than 50% in the first round, the top two candidates were listed on the ballot in the second round. In the second round the 50% rule was applied as well. Reelections were called in case if the 50% votes in the second round was not met. Because of those conditions several districts in the Verkhovna Rada were left not represented for a whole convocation. Particularly acute that problem was in the city of Kiev that was assigned 23 mandates, while in the parliament only its 10 representatives participated in the second convocation - less than a half. Kiev became the most under represented region. 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「Ukrainian parliamentary election, 1994」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
