Chesno (Ukrainian: Чесно, lit. 'honestly, fairly') is a Ukrainian public campaign that emerged late 2011 to advance a fair election process.[1] It is widely known for its critical analysis and evaluation of politicians and the Verkhovna Rada (parliament) in Ukraine. The organization provides a public familiarization of political culture and every individual legislator as well as candidates to the People's Deputies of Ukraine in the country.

Its logo is a clove of garlic, which was chosen as a "way for disinfection and fight with impure forces".[2]

Those were the vice-chairman of the parliament Mykola Tomenko, Oleksandr Hudyma, and the newly elected former Minister of Economy (Fokin Government) Volodymyr Lanovyi.

On 16 October 2012, Chesno published its results of monitoring for the deputy candidates who run at the electoral districts of the 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary election.[5] In the parliament elected in that election several deputies at the request of Chesno regularly report on their activities in parliament.[6]
