Verkhovna Rada Chairman Andriy Parubiy has signed the law introducing amendments to Article 6 of the law on the Central Election Commission (CEC), which increases the number of CEC members from 15 to 17.

According to an Interfax-Ukraine reporter, the speaker signed the document in the session hall before closing a plenary meeting on Wednesday, adding that he would submit it to the Ukrainian president for signature.
