Additional information about gender quotas

"The Local Election Law (of 2015) introduced a gender quota, whereby representation of either sex on the candidate list under the proportional system must be no less than 30%. However, the legal framework failed to provide any sanctions for failure to comply with the quota requirement. On September 23, 2015, the CEC announced that failure to adhere to the gender quota does not constitute grounds for rejection of the party list by the TEC in charge of candidate registration. Although the CEC resolution was challenged in court, the court upheld the CEC decision. In the end, while some political parties did ensure that women made up 30% their party list candidates, most ignored the gender quota provision. According to the Committee of Voters of Ukraine, women, on average, received 18% of seats on city councils of the regional centers and 15% of seats on oblast councils in the local elections."
