This article delineates the voluntary amalgamation of territorial
communities as a fundamental constitutional guarantee for local self-governance within Ukraine. It elucidates the intrinsic characteristics of this guarantee and its pivotal role in ensuring a robust and effective institutional-functional mechanism for the execution of local self-governance. The study delves into the state of legislative provisions pertaining to the voluntary nature of merging territorial communities and identifies its associated challenges. It is observed that there exists a limitation on the voluntary essence and an intensification of administrative levers in the reformation of territorial communities. The article outlines the modalities of participation by territorial communities and local governance bodies in the drafting of a prospective plan for community territorial formulation.
