Paragraph 19
 

The above clauses are being highlighted to indicate very clearly that the law is constructed in a way that it allows changes to take place in the party list prior to the elections but that from election day onwards the situation is fixed so as to enable the voters to have their true say, subsequent to which the sovereign will of the people needs to be respected. The newly adopted amendments therefore seem to be in conflict with other provisions of the Law on Election of People’s Deputies of Ukraine on party candidates.
