The constituency's boundaries are determined by the respective "boundaries of administrative units, interests of local communities, and interests of national minorities living in the respective territories."

[update]
, the constituency's population consisted of 177,067 inhabitants,

History
[
edit
]
The electoral district was established in 1998 in preparation for the upcoming
29 March parliamentary election
, carved out of the No.55 single-mandate constituency after a
redistricting
. For the 1998,
2002
,
2012
, and the
2014
parliamentary elections, Ukraine used a mixed-member proportional representation system to elect MPs, with half of the parliament's 450 seats being elected on a proportional representation system, with the other half elected on a first-past-the-post system in 225 single-mandate constituencies.
[10]
[11]
During the
2006
and
2007
parliamentary elections, all of the 225 single-mandate constituencies were replaced with territorial constituencies. During these elections, Vinnytsia was represented by the No.9 territorial constituency (
Ukrainian
:
Територ?альний виборчий округ №9
,
Terytorial’nyi vyborchyi okruh №9
), which was in effect a combination of the 11th and 12th districts of previous elections.
[12]
[13]
List of deputies
[

The district is notable since President Petro Poroshenko has been elected to represent it on three occasions, during the parliament's 3rd convocation,
[14]
4th convocation,
[15]
and
7th convocations
.
[16]
The constituency is currently represented by
Anatoliy Drabovskyi
, from the
Servant of the People
party.

Election results
[
edit
]
Although the No.12 single-mandate constituency was established for four of Ukraine's parliamentary elections, this area is represented by the No.12 territorial constituency for presidential elections, as was the case in
1999
,
2004
,
2010
, and
2014
. The territory of this constituency is quite larger and different in its boundaries, representing the province's
Vinnytsia Raion
(
district
), and the Zamostianskyi Raion of the city of Vinnytsia itself. Accordingly, this presidential election constituency voted for President
Leonid Kuchma
in 1999, President
Viktor Yushchenko
in 2004, front-runner
Prime Minister
Yulia Tymoshenko
in 2010, and President Poroshenko himself in 2014.
