On October 25, Ukraine held elections to regional, district, city, town, and village councils, as well as elections of heads of cities, towns, and villages. Elections of regional, district, and city councils used what is, for Ukraine, a new version of the proportional election system, in which political party lists are divided into parts corresponding to territorial constituencies (equal to the number of mandates), and where each part may not include more than one candidate. Such a model created the illusion among voters that they are voting for specific candidates (as they would in the majority election system), while in reality their vote went primarily to political parties.
