The 1990 Ukrainian local elections took place on 4 March 1990 when Ukraine, as the Ukrainian SSR was still a part of the Soviet Union. In these relatively free elections electoral commissions managed to block the participation of most opposition group candidates while "acceptable social organisations" were permitted to register.[1] [2] [3]
The Ukrainian nationalist opposition People's Movement of Ukraine (Rukh) won majorities in the elections of the city councils of Lviv and Kyiv and was successful in western Ukraine.[1] The "Democratic Bloc" (a coalition of Rukh, Ukrainian Republican Party and Democratic Party of Ukraine, Green World Association and other organisations) won the elections in Lviv Oblast, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast and Ternopil Oblast.[4] [5]
The Communist Party won the local government elections in Crimean Oblast.[6]
Only after the March 1990 Ukrainian Supreme Soviet election and local elections political parties started to get established.[3]
