     The Ukrainian political system consists of a popularly elected President, a 450-person single-chamber Parliament – the Verkhovna Rada, and a Prime Minister, who is a head of the Cabinet of Ministers. The members of Verkhovna Rada are elected at general, equal and direct elections which take place every four years on the last Sunday of March. The country is divided into 255 constituencies. Voting, which is not compulsory, is by the secret ballot and from the age of 18. The candidate polling the largest number of votes in a constituency is elected.

    The Verkhovna Rada is the highest body of the legislative power in Ukraine. It works at a session basis. It elects the Chairman from its membership. Chairman of the Parliament is the Speaker.
