The Kherson Oblast Council (Ukrainian: Херсонська обласна рада) is the regional oblast council (parliament) of the Kherson Oblast (province) located in Southern Ukraine.
Council members are elected for five year terms. In order to gain representation in the council, a party must gain more than 5 percent of the total vote.[2]
During the Russian takeover and occupation of the oblast, the activities of the Council were temporarily suspended. A collaborationist entity called Salvation Committee for Peace and Order began to operate in its place. Activities of the Council resumed in November 2022.
