The 2020 Kyiv local elections were held on 25 October 2020 to elect the Mayor of Kyiv and the 120-seat City Council as a part of wider 2020 Ukrainian local elections, which took place on the same day.[2]

Electoral system[edit]

These were the first elections held under the newly adopted Electoral Code, which provided a fully proportional electoral system at the both local and national levels.[3]

Kyiv was divided into 13 districts with an unfixed amount of seats.[4] Each party had to form two lists: the first is united for the entire city, and the second is for individual territorial districts. The party would receive a mandate if it overcomes the 5% threshold. In this case, the №1 candidate on the list is guaranteed to receive a seat. Candidates who receive 25% or more of the electoral quota of their district get to the top of the list in descending order of the number of votes for them. In the case of an equal number of votes, the order of candidates will remain as determined by the party at the time of voting. After the candidates who passed to the council according to the quota, the rest are placed in the order determined by the party.

Electoral quota is the number of votes needed to obtain one seat. The electoral quota is determined by the territorial election commission. For this, the commission needed to divide the total number of votes for those parties that won at least 5 percent of the voters' votes and are now participating in the distribution of mandates by the number of mandates. The number of seats into which the electoral votes had to be divided is the difference between the number of seats in the council and the number of guaranteed seats for each party that entered the council (one seat per party).[3]
