Dimensions
Accountability
0.0% · 0/2| Datapoint | Score | Rationale & evidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| COI.1Conflict-of-interest disclosureAre commissioners and senior election staff required by statute to disclose financial interests (vendor relationships, party positions, candidate connections) publicly? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-19 |
| COI.2Judicial review of administrative decisionsIs the right to seek judicial review of election-authority decisions codified, with standing, timeline, and venue defined? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-19 |
Commission
60.0% · 3/5| Datapoint | Score | Rationale & evidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| COMM.1Statutory grounding of commissionIs the election commission's existence and core mandate set in the constitution (rather than statute alone, regulation, or executive order)? | 2/2100.0% | Art. I-33 codifies the status of election commissions: Central Election Commission (separate law), district, territorial, and precinct commissions established per this Code. Art. I-37 codifies commission documentation. Art. II-115 / III-170 codify ballot delivery to commissions. Comprehensive statutory grounding. | § view source 2026-05-19 |
| COMM.2Multi-branch appointmentAre commission members appointed by multiple branches (legislature, judiciary, executive) such that no single branch unilaterally controls composition? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-19 |
| COMM.3Term protectionAre commissioner terms defined in statute with fixed length, staggered cycles, and statutory grounds for removal? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-19 |
| COMM.4Political-balance requirementIs the commission's composition required by statute to be politically balanced (party-balanced, supermajority-confirmation, or independent appointment by judiciary)? | 1/1100.0% | Art. IV-203 codifies territorial-commission establishment with party-organization nomination quotas (parliamentary-faction parties + local organizations). Art. IV-204 codifies precinct-commission establishment with party nomination. Political-balance requirement codified — commissions are formed with party representation. | § view source 2026-05-19 |
Funding
75.0% · 3/4| Datapoint | Score | Rationale & evidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| FUND.1Independent funding lineIs the election authority's budget a separate statutory line item (not subject to mid-cycle reallocation by the executive branch alone)? | 1/1100.0% | Art. III-148 codifies financial support for MP elections from the state budget. Art. II-91 codifies presidential-election funding. Art. IV-210 codifies local-election funding. Art. IV-225 codifies candidate financial deposit. Independent funding line through state budget appropriation codified per election type. | § view source 2026-05-19 |
| FUND.2Multi-year funding cycleAre election infrastructure budgets set on a multi-year cycle (avoiding annual political renegotiation of election-administration money)? | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Art. IV-285 codifies by-elections for council members. Art. IV-260 codifies number-of-seats. Funding cycle is per-election (annual appropriation) not multi-year — no multi-year funding cycle codified. | § view source 2026-05-19 |
| FUND.3Foreign funding prohibitionIs foreign-source funding of the election authority (and election administration vendors, where applicable) prohibited by statute? | 2/2100.0% | Art. IV-215 codifies electoral-fund formation rules including prohibition on foreign contributions. Art. II-96 / III-152 codify parallel for presidential/MP. The Code explicitly prohibits foreign-state contributions to electoral funds (consistent with Art. I-59 limitation on foreign-state involvement to observation only). Comprehensive foreign-funding prohibition. | § view source 2026-05-19 |
Staff Training
0.0% · 0/3| Datapoint | Score | Rationale & evidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| STAFF.1Career professional staffIs the election authority's career staff (professional employees, not political appointees) protected by civil-service or analogous merit-based statute? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-19 |
| STAFF.2Mandatory trainingIs training for election officials and poll workers required by statute, with content and frequency defined? | 0/10.0% | Art. IV-237 codifies guarantees of activities for candidates. Art. II-109 / II-87 / III-144 codify district-commission powers including organizing commission member training. CEC organizes training of commissions per Art. I-37. Mandatory training is codified in regulation rather than statute. | § view source 2026-05-19 |
| STAFF.3Whistleblower protectionAre election-related whistleblower protections (for staff reporting irregularities) codified in statute? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-19 |
Vendor Oversight
16.7% · 1/3| Datapoint | Score | Rationale & evidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| CERT.1Certification process codifiedIs the voting-equipment certification process (criteria, evaluators, timeline, public-comment period) codified in statute or regulation? | 0.5/150.0% | Art. IV-205 codifies CEC powers including preparation and conduct of local elections. Art. II-86 codifies parallel for presidential. Art. I-61 codifies material and technical support. Voting-system certification is not codified (paper-only regime) — these provisions cover commission and ballot-paper certification rather than voting equipment. | § view source 2026-05-19 |
| CERT.2Recertification triggersAre recertification triggers (after material updates, after defects discovered, on a fixed schedule) codified? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-19 |
| CERT.3Decertification grounds & procedureAre the grounds for revoking certification, and the procedure for doing so, defined in statute? | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Art. I-72 codifies decisions on complaints (with potential consequence for commission/candidate registrations). Art. III-166 codifies MP candidate activity guarantees. Voting-system decertification is not codified — Ukraine has no voting machines. | § view source 2026-05-19 |
