In the Kyiv Oblast, the first elections will be held in the Studenykivska rural AH and the Mykolaivska-Arbuzynska settlement AH.
The Commission announced the beginning of the electoral process in these hromadas from 4 November 2017.

These 51 AHs included 256 local councils (7 town councils, 19 settlement councils and 230 village councils). According to preliminary estimates, more than 356,500 people will be able to take part in the elections.
In addition, as is known, on 29 October 2017 the first local elections will be held in 201 AHs, which will include 933 local councils (25 town councils, 67 settlements councils and 841 village councils). In these elections, according to preliminary estimates, more than 1 million 330 thousand people will be able to take part.
