The 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary election was held on 28 October 2012, where 424,536 diaspora voters could vote.

The foreign electoral district in Ukraine doesn't attribute seats to the diaspora, and overseas citizens could vote only in the party-list section of the election, which is responsible for choosing half of the Verkhovna Rada composition, which is 225 seats.

Background Ukraine has approximately 10 million of its citizens living abroad with a right to vote in the presidential and parliamentary elections. However, Ukrainian electoral law does not allow, nor does it have any mechanisms for postal or early voting, which complicates voting for people in countries without embassies or consulates, resulting in low turnout each election. Both the government and political parties usually ignore and neglect overseas voters, with the latter refusing to campaign and mobilize diaspora. Still, pro-European and nationalist forces usually overperform in the expatriate voting, compared to nationwide overall results.
