Elections to local self-government bodies will be held on March 26, 2006. The corresponding resolution "On scheduling the regular elections of deputies of local councils of the 5th convocation and village, settlement, and city heads in 2006" was adopted by the Verkhovna Rada on Tuesday with 377 votes, reports a correspondent of "proUA".
It is envisaged that elections to local self-government bodies will be held simultaneously with the parliamentary elections.
In addition, according to the adopted resolution, the election process for elections to local self-government bodies will begin 90 days before election day.
Recall that a number of parliamentary factions advocated separating in time the elections to the Verkhovna Rada and local self-government bodies.
