Electoral history

In the 1998 parliamentary election, the Ukrainian Greens received 5.5% of the vote and 19 seats

The 1998 success wasn't repeated in the 2002 election, in which final poll results had predicted that the party would receive between 4% and 5% of the total vote. However, the party fell below expectations and earned a mere 1.3% of the total vote, losing all its seats. in which it won 0.35% of the national vote and none of the fifteen constituencies in which it had competed and thus failed to win parliamentary representation. The party also participated in the 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election, but received 0.24%, which once again was not enough to gain parliamentary representation. In the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election the party gained 0.66% of the national vote and no parliamentary seats, with the party also failing to win a constituency seat.

In the 2020 Ukrainian local elections, the party gained 24 deputies (0.06% of all available mandates).
