Electoral date

@Yulia Romero: Why do you use date 27 October 2024? Let's read the law: "on the last Sunday of October of the fifth year of authority of the parliament". Let's count. Current Rada started work on 29 August 2019. That means that "the fifth year" of its authority will start on 29 August 2023 (and would continued till 28 August 2024). During this time-span "the last Sunday of October" will be on 29 October 2023. Agree? Olek Bokhan (talk) 21:36, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agree (see this)

Removal of parties from polling list based on political preferences?

@Nathan Gimein: Why do you remove the "Party of Shariy" based on the claim that it is not popular enough while the party "Svoboda" achieves similar poll results? Also party "Golos" is even lower now according to the latest polling so how do you decide who is worthy and who not? My suspicion is all this is based on your political bias. Would you care to explain? ValterUdarnik (talk) 00:05, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@ValterUdarnik: I can publish information also about this Party. I just don't understand why we should write anything about this political force that didn't received in any poll even more than 3%? --Nathan Gimein (talk) 01:01, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@ValterUdarnik: I also hope that you will not try to vandalize this article like you did with "Glory to Ukraine" in 18th of November. --Nathan Gimein (talk) 01:23, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Nathan Gimein: I'm not the one vandalizing here, you are. You deliberately keep removing the part which points to the strong far-right character of the slogan although it is very well documented and supported by various sources, while you only retain the part about it being some kind of romantic nationalist call for freedom. If you keep on doing biased editing like this I will start a Request for Comments on your editing behaviour. ValterUdarnik (talk) 11:25, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Discrepancy in constitution versions on election timing?

Hello, I see this in the article: "According to Article 77 of the Constitution, regular elections to the Verkhovna Rada (the parliament of Ukraine) take place on the last Sunday of October of the fifth year of parliamentary powers. Thus, if not for the war, the regular parliamentary elections would have taken place on 29 October 2023."

However, the Council of Europe text as well as Wikisource quote Article 77 of the Constitution as below:

Regular elections to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine take place on the last Sunday of March of the fourth year of the term of authority of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

The only reference to October I can find is in Article 103, which is about presidential elections:

Regular elections of the President of Ukraine are held on the last Sunday of October of the fifth year of the term of authority of the President of Ukraine.

(all emphasis mine)

However, I can't believe the above are correct because all sources seem to take for granted that if not for martial law, parliamentary elections would have been scheduled for October 2023 and presidential elections for March 2024, not the other way around. The translation provided by the Verkhovna Rada website supports the idea that the COE text and Wikisource are wrong:

Article 77. Regular elections to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine shall be held on the last Sunday of October of the fifth year of the term of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
Article 103. ... Regular elections of the President of Ukraine shall be held on the last Sunday of March of the fifth year of authority of the President of Ukraine.

I don't know if there have been constitutional amendments that explain this discrepancy, or if the COE text and Wikisource page (which might be derived from the COE text?) are just wrong. If there are incorrect versions of the Constitution floating around, I think we would want to note that and be careful to only use the official Rada version.

I'd be grateful for any insight. Thanks! Helpful Cat (talk) 18:49, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
