“The voting cards of those who are not present in the session hall and who are not registered should be blocked,” he said at a meeting of the parliament’s conciliatory council in Kyiv on Wednesday.
He noted that if MPs are late and their cards are blocked, this problem could be resolved through the parliament’s secretariat, and the cards will be unblocked.

He also noted that the issue of personal voting of MPs should be completed and added that he supports the proposal of introducing the Rada-3 electronic voting system.
As reported, on December 11, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych signed a law introducing amendments to the Verkhovna Rada’s rules of procedure determining the mechanism for the personal voting of MPs.
On December 6, the Verkhovna Rada amended its regulations and ordered people’s deputies to register for the participation in parliamentary sessions and vote during them individually.
According to the document, before the start of every session of the parliament, MPs will register personally with their people’s deputy cards and personal signatures. The deputies will also register via the Rada electronic system at the session hall, and thus other people will be unable to register in place of deputies.
The law also orders MPs to vote personally via the Rada electronic system in the session hall, thus no one will be able to vote in their place.
According to the document, MPs must not hinder the consideration of issues on the agenda, block the rostrum, intrude in the work of the parliamentary chairman, or prevent other deputies from voting.
During the vote, MPs have to vote for or against the issue, or abstain from the vote. Parliamentarians must not ignore the votes.
