The Central Election Commission (CEC) did not register independent parliamentarians Volodymyr Parasiuk and Arkadiy Kornatsky as parliamentary candidates, the OPORA Civil Network reported.

According to OPORA, the Central Election Commission explained the refusal to register the deputies who submitted applications for participation in the elections in majority districts, by “the inconsistency of the documents submitted with the requirements of the legislation.”
