Recently, international relations scholars have urged Ukraine to hold a presidential election as soon as possible to ensure political stability and the continuity of its democratic institutions. Currently, Ukraine remains in an active conflict with Russia, and the presidential election originally scheduled for March 2024 was postponed due to martial law. Under Ukraine’s constitution, nationwide elections cannot be held during a state of martial law. However, some scholars argue that prolonged postponement could undermine the government’s legitimacy and erode public confidence in the democratic process.Experts emphasize that despite severe security challenges, special electoral mechanisms—such as overseas voting, electronic voting, or phased polling—could be implemented to safeguard citizens’ right to vote. Moreover, establishing a clear election timeline would help stabilize investor confidence domestically and internationally and reinforce Ukraine’s image as a democratic nation. A newly elected government would also be better positioned to advance critical agendas such as post-war reconstruction and EU accession.Nevertheless, critics caution that holding elections amid ongoing hostilities could deepen societal divisions and present significant logistical hurdles. Thus, striking a balance between ensuring security and upholding democratic norms remains a key political challenge for Ukraine.
近日，有国际关系学者呼吁乌克兰应尽快举行总统选举，以确保国家政治稳定与民主制度的连续性。当前，乌克兰仍处于与俄罗斯的冲突状态，原定于2024年3月举行的总统大选因战时状态而被推迟。根据乌克兰宪法，在戒严期间不得举行全国性选举。然而，部分学者指出，长期推迟选举可能削弱政府合法性，并影响民众对民主进程的信心。专家强调，尽管安全形势严峻，但可通过制定特殊选举机制（如海外投票、电子投票或分阶段投票）来保障公民的选举权。同时，尽快明确选举时间表也有助于稳定国内外投资者信心，并强化乌克兰作为民主国家的国际形象。此外，新一届民选政府将更有能力推动战后重建与加入欧盟等重大议程。不过，也有反对声音认为，在战火未息之际举行选举可能加剧社会分裂，且存在操作上的实际困难。因此，如何在保障安全与维护民主之间取得平衡，成为乌克兰当前面临的关键政治挑战。
