The alternative bill was submitted by four lawmakers. It proposes amendments to the Law "On the Elections of Members of Parliament of Ukraine" (on holding elections on open party lists, No. 10319-1).

Today's meeting of the Verkhovna Rada was closed without any decisions passed. The next parliament meeting is scheduled for May 28.

As UNIAN reported earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky proposed amendments to the current electoral legislation, in particular the abolition of the majority system and the 3% vote threshold.
