The Ukrainian parliament has adopted as a whole a bill amending the Ukrainian law on the presidential election (regarding the organization of the work of election commissions).

MPs failed to support none of over 200 amendments to the bill at second reading.

The passed amendments to the law were proposed by Regions Party MP and Parliament First Vice Speaker Oleksandr Lavrynovych.

The document excludes a requirement from the law that there should be a quorum of two thirds of election commission members, who should sign protocols on the results of voting in the second round of the presidential election on February 7.

The law has yet to be signed by incumbent President Viktor Yushchenko.
