Ukrainian Presidential Election Dates 2019

Ukrainian Presidential Election Date: 31 March 2019 

Elections in Ukraine are held to choose the President (head of state), Verkhovna Rada (legislature body), and local governments. Referendums may be held on special occasions. Ukraine has a multi-party system, with numerous parties in which often not a single party has a chance of gaining power alone, and parties must work with each other to form coalition governments.

Presidential elections will be held in Ukraine on 31 March 2019. If no candidate receives an absolute majority of the vote, a second round will be held on 21 April.

The electoral system of Ukraine

The election of the President of Ukraine by law must take place on the last Sunday of March of the fifth year of the term of the incumbent President. Thus, the 2019 Ukrainian presidential election should take place on 31 March 2019. The Ukrainian parliament had to approve the date of the presidential election no later than 100 days before the election day. On 26 November 2018, Ukraine's parliament set the presidential vote for 31 March 2019.

Due to the March 2014 annexation of Crimea by Russia and the occupation of parts of Donetsk Oblast and Luhansk Oblast by separatists (since April 2014) roughly 12% of eligible voters cannot participate in the elections.
