Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Ruslan Stefanchuk said on June 28 that Ukraine’s parliament is preparing a draft bill to hold elections following the end of the martial law period enacted as a result of the war. <\/p>\n

“We are working on this draft law, because for the next elections, a new special draft law is needed that will regulate the so-called post-war elections,” Stefanchuk said<\/strong><\/a> on Ukraine’s marathon TV broadcast. <\/p>\n

“We are preparing various basic scenarios so that people can exercise their fundamental constitutional right to vote. And this must take place in Ukraine. And I believe we will be able to find the right legislative compromise,” he added.<\/p>\n

The reason for separate legislation on a post-war election, Stefanchuk previously said, was due to the fact that Ukraine’s Constitution does not not provide clarity on the details of holding elections following the end of a martial law period.<\/p>\n

No details on the bill or timeline for implementation were provided.<\/p>\n

Russia’s full-scale invasion and the subsequent declaration of martial law in Ukraine meant elections have been impossible to hold, and President Volodymyr Zelensky’s term has been extended, something constitutional lawyers<\/strong><\/a> say is allowed under Ukrainian law.<\/p>\n

Despite criticism, Ukraine’s parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, passed<\/strong><\/a> a resolution on Feb. 25 to hold elections after “a comprehensive, just, and sustainable peace is secured” in the country. <\/p>\n

While polling shows a vast majority<\/strong><\/a> of Ukrainian citizens do not support holding elections before a full peace deal, the lack of elections has stirred some controversy with Ukraine’s allies. <\/p>\n

At the start of his second term in office, U.S. President Donald Trump urged<\/strong><\/a> Ukraine to hold elections \u2014 something that Ukraine has thus far refused to do citing the difficulties of holding elections amid active warfare, as well as security implications.<\/p>\n

Zelensky has previously said he is willing to step down<\/strong><\/a> in exchange for a peace agreement.<\/p>\n

Russian propaganda has widely used the issue of elections in Ukraine<\/strong><\/a> to discredit the Ukrainian leadership. Mocow has repeatedly claimed<\/strong><\/a> that Zelensky<\/strong><\/a> is no longer a legitimate president, as his first term was originally meant to end on May 20, 2024.<\/p>\n
