The text provides many definitions, including some references to the other Laws of Ukraine or decisions, which might seem to be superfluous. In particular provisions such as “in order to transliterate… proper names in Ukrainian, the transliteration rules established by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine shall apply” (Article 4.2), or such as “the date of acquiring Ukrainian citizenship… is determined in accordance with the Law… on Citizenship of Ukraine” (Article 9), or that “the voter’s voting address is determined by the registered place of residence and domicile of the voter under the Law of Ukraine On Freedom of Movement and Free Choice of Place of Residence”, after having stated that “the voter’s voting address is an address of the voter’s place of residence or stay or another address replacing the voters domicile” (Article 8.1 & 2). Yet, if it appears that these references to other laws are required for consistency within the Ukrainian legal system, they should be retained altogether.
