Snap parliamentary elections in Ukraine start at 08:00 on July 21.

According to the current electoral system, Ukrainians elect half of 450 deputies in a multi-member electoral district according to the lists of political parties (proportional part), another half - in single-mandate electoral districts (majority part).

Elections will not take place in the occupied Crimea and certain districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions (ORDLO).
