Supreme Soviet elections were held in the Ukrainian SSR on 26 June 1938 to elect deputies to the republic's parliament, the Supreme Soviet.[1] They were held alongside elections to local provincial ("oblast'") councils and followed the national elections to the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union on 12 December 1937.[1]

A new Constitution of the Ukrainian SSR ("Stalin's Constitution") had been adopted in 1937.[1] Previously on 5 December 1936 at the 8th Extraordinary Congress of Soviets of the Soviet Union, there was already adopted the Constitution of the whole Union which became a base for development and adaptation of constitutions of union republics.[1] On resolution of Presidium of the All–Ukrainian Central Executive Committee (AUCEC) of 13 June 1936, there was established the AUCEC Constitutional Commission.[1] By prior decision of Politburo of Central Committee of the Communist Party (Bolsheviks) of Ukraine (CC CP(b)U), the Presidium approved personnel composition of the Constitutional Commission.[1] The developed draft of Constitution of the UkrSSR by the commission was submitted under existing practice to CC CP(b)U, Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) (CC VCP(b)), after which the agreed draft was reviewed by the AUCEC Presidium.[1] After the AUCEC Presidium approved the draft it decided to submit the draft for review to the 16th Extraordinary All-Ukrainian Congress of Soviets.[1]

Coincidentally in 1937 to Ukraine were dispatched three personal representatives of Stalin Vyacheslav Molotov, Nikolai Yezhov, and Nikita Khrushchev.[2] After their arrival in Ukraine were arrested and executed 17 members of government.[2] The chairman of Sovnarkom of the UkrSSR Panas Lyubchenko committed suicide.[2] The CC CP(b)U that was recently elected in 1937 at the XIII Party's congress was routed, 10 out of 11 members of Politburo along with 4 out of 5 candidate members perished, while all 9 members Orgburo were repressed.[2]
