Snap mayoral and city council elections were held in Kyiv on 25 May 2008. The election, originally scheduled to be held alongside nationwide 2010 local elections, was called by the Verkhovna Rada by a 246–5 vote on March 18 amid corruption allegations involving the incumbent Mayor Leonid Chernovetskyi.[1] The local election determined the new Mayor of Kyiv, as well as the composition of the 120-seat Kyiv City Council.
The Ukrainian parliament assigned the job of determining the election costs to the Central Election Commission of Ukraine, working in partnership with the Kyiv City Territorial Election Commission.[2] The Kyiv CTEC designated March 26 as the date for the start of election campaigning.[3]
In all, seven parties and blocs passed the 3% threshold needed to gain seats in the Kyiv City Council.[4] The incumbent Leonid Chernovetskyi was officially declared the winner of the mayoral election on May 31.[5] Yurii Lozovskyi, Secretary of the Kyiv CTEC, said that the voter turnout was estimated at 53-54%.[6] The electoral commission said that the elections were largely clear and fair without any major incidents, but that the largest electoral violation was voter shopping.[7]
Although, legally, next Kyiv local elections had to take place in 2013,[8][9] eventually they were postponed and took place on 25 May 2014 as a part of the 2014 Ukrainian local elections.[10]
