Verkhovna Rada Speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk has signed an order to create a working group to prepare a draft law on elections, according to a video of his speech posted by the newspaper "Novosti. Live", APA reports.
"The working group will consist of representatives of all parliamentary parties and groups, as well as the Central Election Commission. We will need to work out some issues to hold elections in such conditions [of military operations]," he said.
According to Stefanchuk, the biggest thing will be to create conditions for the military to vote at the front and their right to be elected. It is also necessary to understand how millions of Ukrainians living abroad will vote, and solve some other problems, including issues with observers who must confirm that the polls are democratic and lawful, he added.
"I don't want to speculate now about when they will take place and under what conditions. These issues will be resolved by the working group," Stefanchuk said.
He believes that the law on elections during military operations will be a one-time measure. "This law will be of one-time use - specifically for these elections," he said.
