The body of legislative power is the Verkhovna Rada which consists of 450 deputies. But in some time the number of deputies is supposed to be 300 according to all Ukrainian referendum, the results of which were approved by the Constitutional Court in July 2000.

Each deputy represents an area of the country, that is called a constituency. The elections to the Verkhovna Rada are held every 5 years. Voting is organized in the form of secret ballot and from the age of 18.

The Verkhovna Rada is headed by the Chairman and is responsible for making laws. It has special committees which discuss and introduce bills for debating at parliamentary sitting. It discusses the questions connected with the State Budget and adopts the Budget for the coming year.
