Ukrainian presidential elections determine who will serve as the President of Ukraine for the next five years.
[1] Since the establishment of the position of the President of Ukraine in 1991, presidential elections have taken place seven times: in 1991, 1994, 1999, 2004, 2010, 2014 and 2019.
The next election would have been scheduled for 2024; however, it was not held because of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine ongoing since 24 February 2022 and the resulting imposition of martial law in Ukraine, under which elections legally cannot be held.
[9] Regular presidential elections are held on the last Sunday of March[10] (formerly in October) of the fifth and last year of the incumbent President's term of office.
[11][12] The president is elected by direct popular vote in a two-round majoritarian contest.
