EPDE member Civil Network OPORA published this updated and revised version of the “Roadmap for Ensuring Organization of Postwar Elections in Ukraine”.

This document is intended to draw the attention of Ukraine’s partners and stakeholders to the primary
steps for the preparation of the first postwar elections in Ukraine and the reform of the electoral
legislation in the foreseeable future.

The Roadmap is only a framework document; therefore, certain topics require broader and more meaningful coverage. Civil Network OPORA has prepared its own expert vision, incorporating the results of previous professional discussions with official parties (Central Election Commission, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Verkhovna Rada, National Police, National Agency for Corruption Prevention, National Television and Radio Broadcasting Council, and others) to overcome challenges and fulfill European integration commitments existing as of May 2025. Given the need for a critical number of agreed-upon developments in the organization of post-war elections in advance, before the end of the legal regime of martial law, OPORA calls on the Parliament not to postpone substantive discussions aimed at finding systemic solutions. The preparation of the legislative framework, the prevention of Russian interference in the postwar elections, and EU integration directly depend on a depoliticized, high-quality discussion.

This is the second version of the Roadmap, updated based on discussions with a wide range
of stakeholders, which resulted in the refinement of key recommendations.
