The agreement was reached at a meeting in the Jean Monnet Dialogue for Peace and Democracy format, which took place on 10-12 November in Zakarpattia.
The Verkhovna Rada leadership, chairmen, and delegated representatives of parliamentary factions and groups of the 9th convocation of the Verkhovna Rada specifically state in the conclusions that were published as a result of this event that they "agreed that the upcoming free and fair national elections (parliamentary, presidential) are held after the end of the war and the end of martial law with a time sufficient to prepare for elections (at least six months after the end of martial law)."
Signatories to the document include Oleksandra Ustinova from the Holos faction, Davyd Arakhamiia from the Servant of the People faction, Yuliia Tymoshenko from the Batkivshchyna faction, Iryna Herashchenko in her capacity as co-chairman of the European Solidarity faction, and representatives from other parliamentary groups.
It states that the elections must be conducted in accordance with the current electoral code, which preserves the electoral systems used for both national and local elections and restores the standards that guarantee the competitiveness of candidates running on the same party list (such as eliminating the 2556 electoral quota threshold that was previously required in order to advance a candidate on the electoral list).
