Council members are elected for five year terms. In order to gain representation in the council, a party must gain more than 5 percent of the total vote.[2]
During the Russian takeover and occupation of the oblast, the activities of the Council were temporarily suspended. A collaborationist entity called Salvation Committee for Peace and Order began to operate in its place. Activities of the Council resumed in November 2022.
