The bill (Reg. No. 4162a) suggests refining the legal status, establishment procedure and participation of electoral blocs in the process of election of the people’s deputies of Ukraine.

With consideration of the standing of the European Commission for Democracy through Law (the Venice Commission), it is planned to establish a differentiated electoral threshold for obtaining deputy mandates: 5% - for political parties, and 7% - for electoral blocs.
