Local Elections In Ukraine
Local government in Ukraine is guaranteed by state law and the ability of the territorial community (residents of a village or a voluntary association of rural community residents of several villages, towns, cities) independently (or under the responsibility of agencies and local government officials) to solve local issues within the Constitution and laws of Ukraine.
Local governments are territorial communities of villages, cities (directly and through villages), townships, city councils and their executive bodies and district and regional councils (which represent the interests of communities of villages, towns and cities).

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or elections:
“The improved American highway system ... isolated the American-in-transit. On his speedway ... he had no contact with the towns which he by-passed. If he stopped for food or gas, he was served no local fare or local fuel, but had one of Howard Johnson’s nationally branded ice cream flavors, and so many gallons of Exxon. This vast ocean of superhighways was nearly as free of culture as the sea traversed by the Mayflower Pilgrims.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“In my public statements I have earnestly urged that there rested upon government many responsibilities which affect the moral and spiritual welfare of our people. The participation of women in elections has produced a keener realization of the importance of these questions and has contributed to higher national ideals. Moreover, it is through them that our national ideals are ingrained in our children.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
