Communist Party of Ukraine results (3.66%)	Bloc Lytvyn Party results (2.44%)	Socialist Party of Ukraine results (5.69%)

In 2006, 27% of the registered vote represented suport for minor parties that received less the the 3% statutory representation threshold. In 2007 the number of voters that supported minor parties that received less then the 3% statutory threshold (Including the Socialist Party of Ukraine (2.86%) was only 7%.

The 20% difference shows a consolidation of voter's support towards major politcial parties. This fact needs to be taken into consideration when making any assessment as to the positive swing recorded for Bloc Yulia Tymochenko, Party of Regions, The Communist Party of Ukraine and Bloc Lytvyn. The Our Ukraine bloc merged with the new party "People's Self-Defence" but only recorded a marginal gain in the overall percentage of the vote representing a reduction of 236964 votes in comparison with the 2006 data.

Further review of the regional vote shows a considation of the vote by Yulia Tymoshenko in regions in which her party already maintained stong support. Apart from the Socialist Party of Ukraine and a marginal gain by Our Ukraine all major Political parties recorded an increase in the overall percentage the voter support when comparimg 2006 to 2007 results.

The other fact that needs to also be considered is that in 2006 the partication rate was 67% and in 2007 the particpation rate droped down to 62%.

You can put this info into the Election results compared with the previous Ukrainian parliamentary election chapter. I think we can all agree on it! Mariah-Yulia (talk) 17:49, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Elections in Ukraine

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Elections in Ukraine's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 21:41, 8 March 2013 (UTC)  Done — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 21:52, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

List of elections

I am the author of the reverted edit, which added the list of elections to the top of the article. Originally, there was a headnote link to List of Ukrainian elections. As almost all contents of the list is already in the navboxes, I feel that the list should be deleted. However, some easy access to the list from the main article should be retained. How should we solve this? — Petr Matas 08:57, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

I agree with the list article being deleted; it doesn't serve any real use right now. But placing a navbox at the top of an article is what makes Wikipedia look unprofessional. Wikipedia has a guideline for navboxes, which states that they are presented in "horizontal, placed at the bottom of articles and also called navboxes." It's not standard procedure to place them at the top, (which is also the reason why list articles like the one you mentioned, exist). DDima 16:57, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

I also agree with this article being deleted. It should just be redirected to Elections in Ukraine. Number 57 19:38, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Ok, how about putting the following headnote to the top?

For the latest elections, see Ukrainian presidential election, 2014; Ukrainian parliamentary election, 2012; and Ukrainian local elections, 2010.

Future reference?

I found some interesting stuff about party financing on Kyiv Post today. But I'm on a wikibreak now. So I am parking it here:

Dual candidacies?

I think I may have found the answer to my question. I was able to find an English-language translation of the election code. Chapter 37 sets out the process for nominations for local elections. It'd appear that, generally, a person can be nominated at two levels of local councils, and more specifically, that a person can be nominated for mayor and the respective local council list, but only on the list of a multi-member district, if I'm reading this correctly. Does that sound correct? So, it appears dual candidacies are allowed, but I'd like to have it better explained. --Criticalthinker (talk) 12:25, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
