The Central Election Commission (CEC) plays a crucial role in the evolving political landscape of Ukraine, making significant announcements impacting governance and electoral processes. Recently, the CEC confirmed that the removal of citizenship for Odesa Mayor Hennadii Trukhanov will see his mayoral duties transferred temporarily to the city council secretary upon receipt of a presidential decree. Meanwhile, the CEC has declared that local elections scheduled for October 2025 will not occur due to the ongoing martial law. As Ukraine navigates its post-war recovery, CEC head Oleh Didenko highlights the necessity for new legislative frameworks to facilitate future elections. Moreover, in accordance with the Law of Ukraine on Martial Law, President Zelenskyy's powers are set to be extended, ensuring continuity of governance. These developments underscore the CEC's pivotal role in shaping Ukraine's democratic and legislative environment amidst current challenges.

How will the revocation of Trukhanov's citizenship affect Odesa's governance?

The revocation of Hennadii Trukhanov’s citizenship by a presidential decree will lead to the termination of his powers as Odesa's mayor. Until the issue is completely resolved, the duties of the mayor will temporarily be carried out by the city council secretary, ensuring continuity of administration and governance in Odesa.

Why are local elections in Ukraine cancelled in 2025?

The Central Election Commission has announced that local elections scheduled for October 2025 will be cancelled due to the enforcement of martial law. Under martial law, the typical democratic processes like elections can be suspended as a part of broader emergency governance measures, with the aim of maintaining stability and security during tumultuous periods.

What are the new legal requirements for post-war elections in Ukraine?

According to CEC head Oleh Didenko, the ongoing situation in Ukraine necessitates comprehensive changes to the electoral laws to enable proper facilitation of elections post-war. These legal adjustments are intended to address the unique circumstances posed by martial law and post-conflict recovery, ensuring that democratic processes can resume effectively and equitably once normalcy is restored.

What is the current status of President Zelenskyy's authority under martial law?

Under the current legal framework, President Zelenskyy's powers have been extended beyond May 20 due to ongoing martial law, as stated by the CEC. This extension ensures that there is no gap in the executive leadership and aids in maintaining continuity in state governance during these exceptional times. This extension is consistent with Ukraine's legal provisions regarding the governance during martial law.

What is the future of electoral processes in Ukraine under current circumstances?

The future of electoral processes in Ukraine, as outlined by the CEC, depends heavily on the resolution of martial law and post-war recovery processes. Until new legislative frameworks are established and martial law is lifted, typical electoral activities, including local and national elections, may continue to face adjustments or delays as necessary to align with the ongoing legal and security conditions.

What measures is the CEC taking regarding occupied territories?

The Central Election Commission has advised residents in occupied territories to refrain from participating in referendums orchestrated within these regions. This advisory is part of a broader strategy to uphold legal electoral processes and international standards, emphasizing the need for elections to occur in secure and non-coercive environments, as influenced by Ukrainian law and international agreements.
