2019 Ukrainian presidential election

Presidential elections were held in Ukraine on 31 March 2019. As none of the 39 candidates on the ballot received an absolute majority of the initial vote, a runoff was held on 21 April between the top two vote-getters, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a television personality, and Petro Poroshenko, the incumbent president. The Central Election Commission (CEC) announced that Zelenskyy won the second round with 73.22% of the total vote[1] (or 74.96% of the valid vote). The elections were recognized as free and fair by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.[2]

Background

According to Ukrainian law, the election of the President of Ukraine must take place on the last Sunday of March of the fifth year of the term of the incumbent president[3] which in this cycle fell on 31 March 2019.[3] The Ukrainian parliament had to approve the date of the presidential election no later than 100 days before the election day[3] which it did on 26 November 2018.[4][5]

Candidates

According to Ukrainian law, a presidential candidate must be a citizen of Ukraine who is at least 35 years old, can speak the (state) Ukrainian language and has lived in Ukraine for the last ten years prior to election day.[3] Candidates were nominated by a political party, or by self-nomination.[3] Candidates also had to submit a declaration of income for the year preceding the election year.[3] This document was then scrutinized by the National Agency for Prevention of Corruption, which subsequently published the results of the audit.[3] Nominations could be submitted from 31 December 2018 to 4 February 2019.[3] The end of the registration period was 9 February 2019.[3] After a potential candidate provided the required documentation to the CEC, this body had five days to register the candidate or to refuse to do so.[6]

Candidates were required to pay a nomination deposit of ₴2.5 million (approx. US$90,000); only the two candidates that progressed to the second round of voting would get this deposit back (the other deposits would be transferred to the state treasury).[3]

By the end of the registration period on 9 February 2019,[3] the CEC had registered 44 candidates for the elections.[7][8] This meant that the largest number of candidates participated in the elections.[9] In total, 92 people submitted documents to the CEC to participate in the elections.[7] Five candidates withdrew.[10][11][12] The CEC refused to register 47 people, most for their failure to pay the deposit.[13]

Candidates could withdraw their candidacy, but not later than 23 days before the election.[3] On 8 March, the CEC approved the final list of candidates.[14] There were a total of 39 candidates for the first round of the election.[15][16]

Conduct

Although 34,544,993 people were eligible to vote in the elections,[138] the March 2014 annexation of Crimea by Russia and the occupation of parts of Donetsk Oblast and Luhansk Oblast by separatists since April 2014 meant roughly 12% of eligible voters were unable to participate in the elections.[139][3] The CEC also closed all five foreign polling stations in Ukrainian embassies and consulates within Russia ahead of the vote.[140]

A total of 2,344 international observers from 17 countries and 19 organizations were officially registered to monitor the elections.[141][142] A record number of 139 non-governmental Ukrainian organizations were registered as observers.[143]

Reactions

Poroshenko tweeted that "a new inexperienced Ukrainian president... could be quickly returned to Russia's orbit of influence."[151] Some of Zelenskyy's critics[152] expressed concerns over his close ties with billionaire oligarch Ihor Kolomoyskyi, doubting whether Zelenskyy would be able to stand up against the country's influential oligarchs and the Russian President Vladimir Putin.[151]

Several European Union nations offered their congratulations and hopes of continued partnerships in the future. British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said that Zelenskyy "will now truly be the Servant of the People." Similar sentiments were expressed by Andrzej Duda, President of Poland, Donald Tusk, the President of the European Council, and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. Russia's deputy foreign minister, Grigory Karasin, stated that "The new leadership now must understand and realise the hopes of its electors" in both domestic and foreign policy.[151] Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau congratulated Zelenskyy and thanked the Canadians among the observers overseeing the elections.[153] The President of the United States, Donald Trump, called the president-elect to congratulate him and "the Ukrainian people for a peaceful [and] democratic election."[154]

A joint letter of congratulations was issued by both Tusk and Jean Claude Juncker, the President of the European Commission. The European Union (EU) leaders stated that they hoped Zelenskyy's victory would speed up the implementation of the remaining parts of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement, including the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area.[155]
