2019 Ukrainian Presidential Election

The Zelenskyy landslide

21 April 2019 (second round) · Elections at war · two-round vote

Presidential elections were held in Ukraine on 31 March 2019. As none of the 39 candidates on the ballot received an absolute majority of the initial vote, a runoff was held on 21 April between the top two vote-getters: Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a television personality, and Petro Poroshenko, the incumbent president.

Held in wartime. This election took place while the country was engaged in Russo-Ukrainian War (2014–present). Conflicts →

Free and fair, but held without Crimea and the occupied Donbas, whose residents could not vote.
