Kiev City Council (Ukrainian: Київська міська рада – Kyivs'ka mis'ka rada), also known as Kyivrada (Ukrainian: Київрада), is the city council of Kiev municipality, the highest representative body of the city community. The members of city council are directly elected by Kievans and the council is chaired by the Mayor of Kiev (who is also directly elected in a separate election independent of the council election) or the City Council Secretary (elected among the council members). The deputies are elected for five-year terms.
The council meets in a 1950s City Council building constructed in neo-classical Stalinist architectural style on Khreschatyk, the city's main street.
The most recent Kiev local election (including Mayoral elections) took place on 25 October 2015.
Empress of Russia Catherine the Great's municipal reform created Kiev's city council in 1870.
In its 1871 first municipal elections just under 6,000 of Kiev's 70,500 inhabitants were qualified to vote.
