ELECTIONS OF MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT OF UKRAINE, 2019
Refusal to Issue a Ballot to a Voter
Not every action by or omission of the commission regarding non-issuance of a ballot to a voter is a violation.
To receive a ballot, a voter must be included in the voter list and present the necessary documents.
Documents required from a citizen to receive a ballot in Ukraine are as follows (presenting one of these is
acceptable): passport of a citizen of Ukraine, military identification (for conscripts), temporary identity card of
a Ukrainian citizen (part 3 of Article 2 of the Law).
A ballot paper is issued only to voters included in the voter list at the polling station. Changes to the voter list
shall be made by a decision of the State Register of Voters’ administrator or by a court decision.
On election day, the PEC Chair, Deputy Chair or Secretary corrects inaccuracies and technical omissions in
the updated voter list – such as misspellings of surnames and first names and errors associated with dates
of birth and house and apartment numbers – if, despite such inaccuracies and omissions, it is clear the voter
list precisely identifies the citizen who arrived at the polling station to vote. A correction shall be certified by
signature of the PEC Chair or Deputy Chair or Secretary in the “Notes” column.
