1990 Ukrainian local elections

The 1990 Ukrainian local elections took place on 4 March[1] 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]

Only after the March 1990 Ukrainian Supreme Soviet election and local elections political parties started to get established.[3]
