Oleg Didenko, chairman of Ukraine's Central Election Commission, emphasizes the need for careful planning of post-war elections, even amidst ongoing martial law due to the war with Russia. With martial law set for renewal and no elections allowed, he stresses the importance of preparation to maintain democratic integrity post-conflict. He acknowledges the complexities imposed by the war, particularly regarding safety and legal restrictions on electoral processes, while highlighting the necessity of garnering international support during this challenging period.
Didenko's message is clear; he insists: when the war allows, the more time they have to organize the elections, the better, but without excesses.
Currently, we have real reasons why we can't hold them. Because there's a full-scale war going on, we can't guarantee either the safety of voters or an electoral process.
