 Results of the 2015 Ukrainian local elections by oblast. | |||||||||||||||||||||
On 25 October 2015 local elections took place in Ukraine.[5] The elections were conducted a little over a year since the 2014 snap local elections, which were only held throughout parts of the country. A second round of voting for the election of mayors in cities with more than 90,000 residents where no candidate gained more than 50% of the votes were held on 15 November 2015.[6][7]
Because of the ongoing conflict in East Ukraine and the February 2014 annexation of Crimea by Russia, local elections were not conducted throughout all of the administrative subdivisions of Ukraine.[8]
The highest number of seats were won by the Petro Poroshenko Bloc "Solidarity", Fatherland and Our Land parties,[9] followed by the Opposition Bloc and the Radical Party.[9] The Petro Poroshenko Bloc did well in the western regions, central Ukraine, and the Kherson Oblast of the south.[10][11] The Opposition Bloc gained most of the votes of the south and east (except Kharkiv Oblast).[10][11] In the west, Svoboda improved its performance compared with previous year's parliamentary election.[10]
A total of 132 political parties took part in the elections.[12] The political parties contested for the 1,600 regional council seats in 22 regional parliaments, more than 10,700 local councils and mayoral seats.[13] The voter turnout was 46.62% of the population.[14] During the second round, the voter turnout dropped to 34.08%.[6]
