Конституційно-правове регулювання і практика участі політичних партій у місцевих виборах в Україні

Abstract

The participation of political parties in the formation of local government in Ukraine started at the beginning of the 20 th century, at the time of the upsurge of revolutionary activity in the Russian Empire. Under the Soviet Union only the representatives and branches of the Communist Party were able to take part in the elections. The elaboration of the election laws in independent Ukraine resulted in more accurate formulation of the competence of local party and blocs branches during the elections.
