If martial law is still in place, the elections may be postponed and rescheduled. However, due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the Ukrainian government introduced martial law and Ukrainian law does not permit presidential elections during periods of martial law. Presidential elections are due to be held in Ukraine on 31 March 2024 according to the constitution, which mandates elections be held on the last Sunday of March of the fifth year of the incumbent president's term of office.
