President Zelenskiy has scheduled snap parliamentary elections for two months from now, on Sunday, July 21. Today the Rada meets in special session to consider and vote on two Zelenskiy-backed electoral reforms: abolishing single-member districts and lowering the vote threshold for parties to get into the Rada, from 5% to 3%. Zelenskiy also is pushing for bills to remove parliamentary immunity from lawmakers and to allow impeachment of a president.
