"Elections in a state of war?" People's Deputy criticized a new draft law registered in the Council

To spread: An election bill appeared on the parliamentary portal. Parliamentarians propose to improve the legal regulation of the electoral process "taking into account the realities of today". The authors of the law on amendments to the election Code of Ukraine - are mostly members of the Batkivshchyna faction. On July 12, MP Oleksandr Fedienko drew attention. The parliamentarian evaluated the Bill No. 13464, registered in the Verkhovna Rada on July 10, as a sufficiently meaningful and many changes.

However, he "cuts the eye" of the first paragraph to substantiate the need to pass this law in an explanatory note, which refers to the improvement of the legal regulation of the organization of preparation and holding of elections, "including taking into account the realities of today.

" "The realities of the present, that is, the elections in the state of war? Do we now need legislative changes in the electoral process? He explained that despite such a substantiation, the bill did not affect the organization of voting of certain categories of voters, in particular, it is about servicemen, persons with disabilities, domestic displaced persons or citizens living abroad. Focus notes that it is not about organizing or holding elections in a war.

Instead, the law, as explained by the People's Deputy, proposes: "Many articles and parts that contained specific rules for communities up to 10 thousand voters are excluded. The role of party governing bodies is increasing - including in the issues of drawing, choosing a mandate for a candidate, which can potentially be transparent.

" We will remind, a member of the Defense Committee of the Verkhovna Rada Fedir Venislavsky stated that a bill was required to hold the elections in Ukraine after the war. It is already working on the Central Election Commission and international partners. The deputy chairman of the Central Election Commission Serhiy Dubovik explained that during the martial law the election was impossible, as it is prohibited by the Constitution and the law.
