The current Ukrainian electoral system is in a special phase of "old law suspended, new law pending." The existing Electoral Code (passed in 2019) has been frozen due to the state of war and will need to be comprehensively revised after the war.
the United States has demanded that Ukraine must complete the presidential election and the territorial referendum by May 15, otherwise the security guarantee will be "in danger"; Ukraine acknowledges that it has started developing plans, but emphasizes that "security must be guaranteed."
According to the current law, elections are prohibited during the war. If elections are held now, the current law must first be amended. It is reported that the parliament has already drafted an "Emergency Election Special Law."
Therefore, Ukraine currently needs to hold elections either illegally, or amend the law, or not at all.
