Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Volodymyr Lytvyn has instructed the legal and scientific-expert departments together with the parliamentary committee on state construction to work out and submit proposals on amending the law of Ukraine on the election of deputies of local councils for the next plenary session. The speaker stated this at a press conference in Simferopol, commenting on the statements of members of the Association of Local Self-Government Bodies of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol about the contradiction of the law's provisions, reports a correspondent of "proUA". \n \n"I believe that the technological and organizational part needs to be spelled out and not touched upon when we do not have a common position on fundamental basic provisions," he said. \n \nAccording to Lytvyn, the need to adopt a new version of the law is "an urgent matter." "Because when this law was already being adopted, the flaws of this law were visible. Because it was adopted in a package under political reform. And if there was a more or less careful attitude to the law on the election of people's deputies, then the approach to this law was unworthy. It was adopted in a package in order to fulfill the agreements that were discussed, and now, when they have read it, they have burst into tears," said the speaker. At the same time, he noted, for now "there are a number of political moments that do not allow reaching an acceptable decision today." \n \nHe also added that all positions on introducing amendments to the election legislation regarding the activity of the media during elections have already been practically agreed upon. And although agreement has not yet been reached with all factions, "the necessary number of votes to adopt such integral changes" exists, said Lytvyn. "I think that on Tuesday-Wednesday of the next plenary week we will consider this issue. I believe that this is a matter of honor for the parliament," he emphasized
