Election preparations have begun in Ukraine
Ukraine has begun preparations for the upcoming elections, but they are only at the initial stage.
Preparations for the upcoming elections have begun in Ukraine and are currently in their early stages, Reuters quoted Ukrainian Parliament spokesman Ruslan Stefanchuk as saying.
"Preparations for the upcoming elections have begun, but are still at a very early stage," said Ms. Stenfanchuk.
According to the source, after the conflict ends, Ukraine must adopt a new law regulating the timing and rules of voting. Spokesman Stefanchuk said that officials and experts have been working on the issue, but the draft law has not yet been implemented.
In addition, no decision has been made on the order of holding local, parliamentary and presidential elections. And according to the Speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament, holding these elections simultaneously is impractical.
Last week, the Strana.ua publication reported that the office of President Volodymyr Zelensky has begun preparations for the vote. According to media sources, the key figure in this process is the head of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, Mykhailo Fedorov, since one of the options being discussed for holding elections involves the use of the state application "Diya" and the Kiev authorities are considering the possibility of directly adjusting the results in the right direction.
In late March 2025, The Economist magazine, citing sources in Kiev, reported that in the event of a complete ceasefire in April, presidential elections in Ukraine could be held in early July 2025, as President Zelensky wants to avoid competition with other candidates.
Mr Zelensky’s presidential term ended on May 20, 2024. The 2024 presidential election was canceled, citing martial law and general mobilization. Mr Zelensky called the election “untimely”.
