President of Ukraine must take place on the last
Sunday of March of the fifth year of the term of the
incumbent President.[4] Thus the 2019 Ukrainian
presidential election should take place on 31 March
2019.[4][5] The Ukrainian parliament had to approve
the date of the presidential election no later than 100
days before the election day.[4] On 26 November

Election was not held due to the War in Donbass
elections.[8] However, the March 2014 annexation of
or annexation by Russia
Crimea by Russia and the occupation of parts of
Donetsk Oblast and Luhansk Oblast by separatists
President before election Elected President
(since April 2014) made roughly 12% of eligible
Petro Poroshenko Volodymyr Zelensky
voters unable to participate in the elections.[9][4] The
Petro Poroshenko Bloc Servant of the People
Ukrainian Central Election Commission closed all
five foreign polling stations in Russia ahead of the
vote.[10]
Analysis of candidates by the Ukrainian NGO "Chesno" found that Petro Poroshenko had the largest election fund
(415 million Ukrainian hryvnia (UAH), about $15.4 million), followed by Yulia Tymoshenko with UAH 320 million
and Volodymyr Zelensky with UAH 102.8 million and Serhiy Taruta with UAH 98.4 million.[11] By comparison, in
the 2010 Ukrainian presidential election, then winner Viktor Yanukovych spent over $40 million and runner-up
Yulia Tymoshenko spent $36 million.[11]
A total of 2,344 international observers from 17 countries and 19 organizations were officially registered to monitor
the elections.[12][13] A record number of 139 non-governmental Ukrainian organizations are registered as
observers.[14]
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.[4]
Candidates were nominated by a political party, or by self-nomination.[4] Candidates also had to submit a
declaration of income for the year preceding the election year.[4] This document was then scrutinized by the
National Agency for Prevention of Corruption, which subsequently published the results of the audit.[4]
Nominations could be submitted from 31 December 2018 to 4 February 2019.[4] The end of the registration period
was 9 February 2019.[4] After a potential candidate provided the required documentation to the Central Election
Commission (CEC), this body had five days to register the candidate or to refuse to do so.[15]
Candidates were required to pay a nomination deposit of 2.5 million hryvnias (approx. 90,000 US dollars); only
the two candidates that progress to the second round of voting will get this deposit returned (the other deposits
will be transferred to the state budget).[4]
By the end of the registration period on 9 February 2019,[4] the Central Election Commission (CEC) had registered
44 candidates for the elections.[16][17] This meant that the largest number of candidates participated in the
elections.[18] In total, 92 people submitted documents to the CEC to participate in the elections.[16] Five candidates
withdrew.[19][20][21] The CEC refused to register 47 people, most for their failure to pay the deposit.[22]
Candidates could withdraw their candidacy, but not later than 23 days before the election.[4] On 8 March, the CEC
approved the final list of candidates.[23] There were a total of 39 candidates for the first round of the election.

Candidates who withdrew

Andriy Sadovyi: Mayor of Lviv; his party Self Reliance announced on 3 October 2018 that Sadovyi is its
candidate in the election.[103] The CEC registered Sadovyi as a candidate on 8 January.[32] In February
Sadovyi talked about withdrawing his candidacy in favour of supporting Anatoliy Hrytsenko as a united
candidate from "democratic, anti-corruption forces".[104] He made the decision to withdraw on 1 March and
then declared his support for Hrytsenko.[19]
Dmytro Gnap: Journalist;[105] Gnap was nominated by the party People Power on 20 January,[106] and
became a registered candidate on 8 February.[102] He withdrew from the election on 2 March, also in favor of
Anatoliy Hrytsenko.[20][107]
Serhiy Krivonos: veteran of the War in Donbass;[44] Krivonos was nominated by the party Soldiers of the Anti-
Terrorist Operation and subsequently registered by the CEC on 5 February.[84] On 6 March he announced that
he was withdrawing from the elections to support incumbent president Petro Poroshenko.[94]
Yevheniy Murayev: People's Deputy of Ukraine; on 10 January 2019, Murayev's party Nashi nominated him
for President.[108] The CEC registered his candidacy on 15 January.[36] On 7 March he pulled out of the
election favor of Oleksandr Vilkul.[109] He also announced that Vilkul’s Opposition Bloc and Nashi would soon
merge.[109]
Dmytro Dobrodomov: People's Deputy of Ukraine and leader of the People's Control party was a registered
candidate since 25 January.[53] He withdrew from the election on 7 March in favor of Anatoliy Hrytsenko.[23]
Registration denied
The CEC rejected 47 applications (mostly for failure to pay the deposit of 2.5 mln hryvnias (approx. 90,000 US
dollars)) of potential candidates,[22] including:
Petro Symonenko: Leader of the Communist Party of Ukraine. His nomination was announced at the party's
congress on 1 December 2018.[110] Legally the Communist Party of Ukraine is not banned, but the Ministry of
Justice is allowed to prohibit it from participating in elections.[111] The CEC refused to register him as a
candidate on 2 February because the statute, name, and symbolism of the Communist Party of Ukraine did
not comply with 2015 decommunization laws.[22][112]
Nadiya Savchenko: People's Deputy of Ukraine and Hero of Ukraine.[113] Savchenko was nominated by her
party on 26 January 2019.[114] Her bid to become a candidate was rejected by the CEC on 7 February
because she failed to pay the deposit and her party didn't stamp the document regarding her nomination.[115]
Declined candidates
Andriy Biletsky: People's Deputy of Ukraine and leader of political party National Corps; nominated by his
7 of 18 4/23/2019, 12:35 PM
party on 20 November 2018.[116] Biletsky later said that he had no intention of participating in the "farce" of a
presidential election.[117]
Vadim Rabinovich: People's Deputy of Ukraine and businessman.[54] On 15 November 2018 Rabinovich
announced he would not take part in the presidential election; but that he would top his party's For Life list in
the following 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary elections.[118]
Oleh Tyahnybok: Chairman of the party All-Ukrainian Union Svoboda. On 14 October 2018, he announced
that he would not be running for president and that the party had instead decided to nominate Koshulynskyi as
the candidate of Ukraine's nationalist political forces.[63]
Michel Tereshchenko: Tereshchenko stepped down as mayor of Hlukhiv on 1 October 2018 to become a
candidate.[119] Yet, during the November–30 December-day martial law in Ukraine he resumed his position as
mayor and on 3 January 2019 declared his support for candidate Andriy Sadovyi during a congress of
Sadovyi's party Self Reliance.[120]
Svyatoslav Vakarchuk, lead vocalist of the rock band Okean Elzy. At the end of January 2019, Vakarchuk
released a video in which he announced that he would not be running for president.[121] Vakarchuk has said
he does not back any of the candidates.[122][123] According to a early March 2019 poll by sociological group
"RATING" 64% of the electorate would have liked to see Vakarchuk among the presidential candidates.[124]
On 27 March 2019, Vakarchuk posted a video on his Facebook page calling on Ukrainians to think seriously
about voting, and not to vote "for a laugh"; this was met with a response by the campaign team of presidential
candidate Volodymyr Zelensky, who Vakarchuk's comments appeared to be directed towards.[125]
Mykhailo Dobkin: People's Deputy of Ukraine, former Kharkiv mayor and Governor of Kharkiv Oblast.[126][127]

Exit polls during the second round of voting predicted

closed and exit-poll data was released.[131][132] He wrote

Reactions
Poroshenko is reported to have tweeted that "a new inexperienced Ukrainian president... could be quickly returned
to Russia's orbit of influence."[134] Some of Zelensky's critics[135] have expressed concerns over his close tie-ups
with billionaire oligarch Ihor Kolomoyskyi, doubting whether Zelensky will be able to stand up against the
country's influential oligarchs and the Russian President Vladimir Putin.[134]
Several European Union nations offered their congratulations and hopes of continued partnerships in the future.
10 of 18 4/23/2019, 12:35 PM
British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said that Zelensky "will now truly be the Servant of the People." Similar
sentiments were expressed by Andrzej Duda, the President of Poland, Donald Tusk, the President of the European
Council, and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.[136] 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.[134] Maria Zakharova, Russian Foreign Ministry's spokeswoman, said that she hopes Zelensky's win
would help Ukraine to unite as a nation not by force but on the basis of a new common agenda.[137] Canada's Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau congratulated Zelensky and thanked the Canadians among the observers overseeing the
elections.[138] 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."[139]
Jonah Fisher of BBC News described the preliminary result as a "massive protest vote" and "a humiliation" for the
incumbent president, but commented that it would be difficult for Zelensky to put his "vague policies" into
action.[134]
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 Zelensky'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.[140]
