Parliamentary elections were held in Ukraine on 28 October 2012.[1] Because of various reasons, including the "impossibility of announcing election results" various by-elections have taken place since.[2][3][4][5] Hence, several constituencies have been left unrepresented at various times.[2][6][7][8]
Unlike the two previous elections, this election used a parallel voting system, with half the seats elected by party-list proportional representation using a 5% election threshold and the other half by first-past-the-post voting in single-member constituencies,[9] with alliances no longer allowed.[10] The parallel voting system was used previously in 1998 and 2002.[11]
The election campaign was limited to 90 days.[9] Every citizen of Ukraine 18 years of age or older[12] was able to vote in 33,540 polling stations in Ukraine and 116 foreign polling stations in 77 countries.[13][14]
The Party of Regions won the largest number of seats while Fatherland (with several parties together as an "umbrella" party) came second.[15] The election was also noted for the rise of the far-right party Svoboda, which came in fourth.[15] The new (on the national scene) party UDAR also enjoyed noticeable great success with its third place in the election.[15] The far-left Communist Party of Ukraine almost tripled its numbers of voters but because of the mixed election system used in the election it only won five more seats compared with the previous election.[15] Because of this mixed system three small parties and 43 unaffiliated politicians also made it into parliament.[15]
The new parliament was appointed and started its tasks on 12 December 2012 – six weeks after the elections.[16][17] This was the last national Ukrainian election Crimea participated in before the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation in 2014.
