Electoral district 12 (Ukrainian: Одномандатний виборчий округ №12, Odnomandatnyi vyborchyi okruh №12), shortened to OVO No.12 (Ukrainian: ОВО №12) is one of 225 electoral districts that elects a member of parliament (people's deputy) to the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's national parliament.

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.

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, and the current MP Anatoliy Drabovskyi from the Servant of the People party.

Location

The electoral district is located in north-central Vinnytsia Oblast (province) in Ukraine, representing half of the province's administrative center, Vinnytsia, its districts, Leninskyi, Staromiskyi, and Zamostianskyi Raions; the urban-type settlements of Voronovytsia, Desna; and 33 villages.

According to Section III "Territorial Organization of the Elections of Deputies" of Ukraine's electoral law "On the elections of People's Deputies of Ukraine," each of the country's 225 single-mandate constituencies must have an approximately equal number of voters. The constituency's boundaries are determined by the respective "boundaries of administrative units, interests of local communities, and interests of national minorities living in the respective territories."

Demographics

As of 2014, the constituency's population consisted of 177,067 inhabitants, which is slightly smaller than the 1:196,000 average population ratio of 225 constituencies to Ukraine's 2014 population of 44,291,413.

History

The electoral district was established in 1998 in preparation for the upcoming 29 March parliamentary election, carved out of the No.55 single-mandate constituency after a redistricting. For the 1998, 2002, 2012, and the 2014 parliamentary elections, Ukraine used a mixed-member proportional representation system to elect MPs, with half of the parliament's 450 seats being elected on a proportional representation system, with the other half elected on a first-past-the-post system in 225 single-mandate constituencies.

During the 2006 and 2007 parliamentary elections, all of the 225 single-mandate constituencies were replaced with territorial constituencies. During these elections, Vinnytsia was represented by the No.9 territorial constituency (Ukrainian: Територіальний виборчий округ №9, Terytorial’nyi vyborchyi okruh №9), which was in effect a combination of the 11th and 12th districts of previous elections.

Election results

Although the No.12 single-mandate constituency was established for four of Ukraine's parliamentary elections, this area is represented by the No.12 territorial constituency for presidential elections, as was the case in 1999, 2004, 2010, and 2014. The territory of this constituency is quite larger and different in its boundaries, representing the province's Vinnytsia Raion (district), and the Zamostianskyi Raion of the city of Vinnytsia itself. Accordingly, this presidential election constituency voted for President Leonid Kuchma in 1999, President Viktor Yushchenko in 2004, front-runner Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko in 2010, and President Poroshenko himself in 2014.
