Immediately after the war. Why the issue of elections in Ukraine rose such a hype

The issue of holding the next elections in Ukraine in the last days is unnaturally warmed up. Political scientist Igor Popov explains that in fact, everything is extremely clear in this matter . . . In discussions to determine the date of election, it is impressed that this date is determined either arbitrarily political or on the results of the discussion on Facebook. In fact, there are quite clear legal rules.

The regular parliamentary elections should take place on October 29, 2023, and the regular presidential elections - March 31, 2024. During the period of legal regime, no elections are held. But after the end of this period or cancellation of its action, you must hold the elections that have been postponed. During the month, the CEC makes a decision and announces their date.

The latter provision is contained in the current election code, but it corresponds to legal logic and international framework documents. Coke shadows can also be read. Therefore, after the war, the election will be required, again, it will be an assessment of the behavior of politicians during the war and a mandate for the implementation of the restoration of the country.

But the preparation of legislation, regulatory framework, budget paintings is a parallel process, and it will take a minimum of 3-4 months to have a qualitative result. The current election code in a number of points does not meet the situation and needs, so it must be changed. But these changes should be transparent and consensus - regarding the electoral system, voting refugees abroad, funding for campaign or restriction of suffrage for certain categories.
