Early mayoral and city council elections (Ukrainian: Дотермінові вибори до київської міської ради (2008) were contested in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv on May 25, 2008. The snap election was called by the Ukrainian parliament, the Verkhovna Rada by a 246–5 vote on March 18 amid corruption allegations involving the incumbent Mayor Leonid Chernovetskyi.[1] The local election determined the new Mayor of Kyiv, as well as the composition of the 120-seat Kyiv City Council.

The Ukrainian parliament assigned the job of determining the election costs to the Central Election Commission of Ukraine, working in partnership with the Kyiv City Election Commission.[2] The Kyiv CEC designated March 26 as the date for the start of election campaigning.[3]

In all, seven parties and blocs passed the 3% threshold needed to gain seats in the Kyiv City Council.[4] The incumbent Leonid Chernovetskyi was officially declared the winner of the mayoral election on May 30.[5] Yuriy Lozovskyi, Secretary of the Kyiv CEC, said that the voter turnout was estimated at 53-54%.[6]

The electoral commission said that the elections were largely clear and fair without any major incidents, but that the largest electoral violation was voter shopping.[7]

Although legally the following Kyiv local election had to take place in 2013,[8][9] eventually elections for the post of Mayor and members of Kyiv City Council took place on 25 May 2014 as part of the 2014 Ukrainian local elections.[10]
