Ukraine is exploring the possibility of implementing online voting for elections post-war, according to Politico.

Ukraine is exploring European models of electoral law, including electronic voting. This is being done with the aim of conducting elections after the conclusion of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

This was reported by RBK-Ukraine citing Politico.

The publication notes that holding free and fair elections will be crucial for normalizing the situation in a country ravaged by war, as well as for its aspirations to join the European Union.

Elena Shulyak, the chair of the Committee on State Power Organization in the Ukrainian parliament, commented to the publication that the authorities are considering electoral law models.

"We need to understand how we can conduct elections democratically by utilizing the best and most effective practices," she stated.

Shulyak emphasized that Ukraine is currently facing a significant issue with voters, as many people have moved abroad.

"According to various estimates, there are 6.5 million internally displaced persons," she noted.

Politico writes that even after the war, one of the main challenges in the country will be ensuring voting opportunities for citizens scattered around the globe, including those in territories occupied by Russia.

"Where they are now, where they will vote - all these questions need to be addressed," Shulyak added.

She continued that with this goal, Ukrainian officials are studying various European election models to implement practices that would allow for free and fair elections in the country after the war's end.

"We are interested in the nuances of electronic voting and the technical assessment of other alternative voting options, including from the perspective of IT security," she declared.

Elena Shulyak informed that lawmakers are also considering mail-in voting, in-person voting abroad on election day, proxy voting, and online voting.

It is worth noting that in an interview with RBK-Ukraine, political scientist Vladimir Fesenko stated that elections in Ukraine will take place no earlier than six months after Ukraine and Russia agree to a ceasefire.

He also mentioned that currently, the Russian Federation has the advantage on the battlefield, and therefore, in the expert's opinion, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is not interested in negotiations for a ceasefire.
