The new election law in wartime will be a one-time measure. This was announced by the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Ruslan Stefanchuk, during a solemn event dedicated to the Day of Diplomatic Service Workers, UNN reports.
Details
According to him, the working group will prepare a draft law that will make it possible to hold democratic elections during martial law.
I know for sure that this working group will develop a document that will make it possible to hold not just elections, but safe, democratic elections.
At the same time, he did not predict when the elections would take place and under what conditions, while there are arguments "for" and "against" on each issue.
"This law will be for one-time use - specifically for these elections. Then, I hope, we will move to the platform provided for in the Constitution, the Electoral Code, and we will move along this path," Stefanchuk summarized.
