Ukraine's electoral system is based on the mixed-member proportional representation system, which stipulates that half of a countries MPs are elected from proportional party lists, with the other half elected from first-past-the-post constituencies. A constituency's votes for a political bloc or party is tallied up with the rest of the 224 constituencies to determine the results of the proportional representation voting.[7]
It was created in 1998 and has only been won by three MPs; former President Petro Poroshenko, who has represented the constituency in three different convocations of parliament, his son Oleksiy Poroshenko,[8] and the current MP Anatoliy Drabovskyi from the Servant of the People party.[4]
