By the decision of the deputies of the Lutsk City Council dated 09.01.2006 No. 26/23, the decision of the city council dated 23.12.2005 No. 26/21 "On the formation of the Lutsk city territorial commission for the election of deputies of the city council and the city mayor" was repealed. In accordance with the same decision, the Lutsk city territorial election commission for the election of deputies of the city council and the city mayor was formed in a new composition. \n \nThe reason for disbanding the previous composition of the commission is the introduction of amendments to the Law "On the election of deputies of the Verkhovna Rada of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, local councils and village, settlement, city mayors," according to which the composition of the city territorial election commission is formed of up to 15 members of the commission, while the previous decision of the session approved the commission consisting of 19 members. \n \nThe aforementioned Law was signed by the President of Ukraine on December 21 and published in the newspapers "Holos Ukrainy" and "Uriadovyi kurier" on December 23, the same day when the session of the Lutsk City Council adopted the decision on the formation of the city territorial election commission. Changes in legislation forced the deputies and the leadership of the TEC to change. In accordance with the new version of the Law, they are appointed by drawing lots. \n \nThus, the head of the Lutsk city territorial commission for the election of deputies of the city council and the city mayor became Doroshkevych Larysa Kuzmivna (Lutsk city organization of the Party of National and Economic Development of Ukraine). Babkevych Nataliia Vasylivna (Lutsk city organization of the Party of Development, Legal Protection of Non-Governmental Organizations of Ukraine "Party of Legal Protection") – deputy head of the commission, Tumarkina Valentyna Andriivna (Lutsk city organization of the Party of Regions) – secretary of the commission.
