On April 12th, Ruslan Stefanchyk, the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada (Parliament) of Ukraine, stated on April 11th local time that due to the lack of provisions in the current Ukrainian constitution for elections held after the end of wartime, the Ukrainian parliament is working on formulating specialized laws to regulate the election process after the end of wartime. Stefan Chuk revealed that the Ukrainian parliament has initiated legislative preparations and has met with the chairman of the Central Election Commission to discuss updates to the voter registration system. Stefan Chuk also emphasized that Ukraine’s “Election Law” and “State of War Law” clearly stipulate that elections will not be held during wartime, and some political parties and politicians’ statements about elections are baseless. He stated that Ukraine will comply with current legislation and may only initiate various election procedures after the state of war has completely ended.
