On October 28, the international election observation missions of the Ukrainian World Congress (UWC) and the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA) presented their preliminary observations of Ukraine’s local elections.

The purpose of the UWC and UCCA missions is to support an open and transparent electoral process in Ukraine. The UWC and the UCCA support Ukraine’s commitment to international standards for free and fair elections, which reflect the will of the electorate, and do not support any candidate, political party or bloc.
