On May 31, President Viktor Yushchenko gave lawmakers another day to pass the legislation after they missed a midnight deadline the day before.
The snap elections are part of a deal reached between Yushchenko and his rival Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych to end weeks of political instability.
In April, Yushchenko issued decrees dissolving parliament. But in order to enable the Verkhovna Rada to pass the laws needed for early elections, he overturned that decision and allowed the chamber to meet in recent days.
