Rada declines three bills on changing election system in Ukraine, to work on election codes at next plenary week
People's deputies haven't supported any of the three bills on the election of people's deputies, which assumed a change in the election system.
Corresponding bills No.1068 and 1068-1 polled less than 100 votes of people's deputies, each with 226 minimum required. Bill No. 1068-2 polled 169 votes; the parliamentarians did not support the speaker's initiative to send it for finalizing by the profile committee or the author of the legislative initiative, an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent reported.
Thus, the parliament rejected all three initiatives without adopting any of them at the first reading. "We passed the first stage of the election reform," Verkhovna Rada Chairman Andriy Parubiy said after the vote.
He added that at the next plenary week, which will begin on November 7, the Verkhovna Rada will continue considering election legislation. Two draft electoral codes No. 3112 and 3112-1 have been submitted to the parliament.
