The CEC explained how much time is needed to prepare for elections after the war in Ukraine.

The head of the Central Election Commission (CEC) Oleg Didenko stated that more time is needed to organize post-war elections in Ukraine than to conduct regular elections. According to him, it is necessary to change the legislation regarding electoral procedures after the war. The law stipulates that elections must be announced within a month after the end of martial law, but this time is insufficient for the preparation of democratic and standard elections. Didenko also noted that electronic voting in Ukraine is currently impossible due to the risks of cyberattacks and the possibility of discrediting the system. He emphasized the importance of ensuring the confidentiality of the voting process and avoiding the possibility of falsifications during voting.

The CEC head also commented on the organization of elections for citizens who are outside Ukraine. He noted that Ukrainians abroad can change their voting address to their place of residence or change their voting location without changing their voting address. Currently, the CEC is developing proposals to simplify and expand the voting opportunities for citizens abroad. One of the options is to create additional polling stations outside embassies and consulates for all those wishing to vote. It is stated that for this, citizens must submit an application in advance expressing their desire to vote abroad.
