"Closed lists will be returned: there will be no programs, no likes," Buzhanskyi about future elections

"Closed lists will be returned: there will be no programs, no likes," Buzhanskyi about future elections

Member of Parliament of Ukraine Maksym Buzhanskyi (Servant of the People faction) said that the practice of voting by closed lists will be returned to Ukraine.

The politician wrote about this in a comment to a post on Facebook.

Well-known Ukrainian political expert Petro Okhotin published an article in which he asked whether, after the end of the war, Ukrainians would start reading candidates' programs and biographies.

"Do you think that after the war, people will start reading the programs and biographies of the candidates? Or whoever gets more likes will be elected?" Petro Okhotin wrote.

In response to the post, MP Buzhanskyi noted that Ukraine will return to the practice of closed lists, when voters vote for a party without knowing who exactly is on its list, if the party itself has not made this information public.

"The closed lists will be returned: there will be no programs or likes," the MP wrote.

To a clarifying question about the meaning of such elections, Buzhanskyi succinctly answered: "voting for parties."

As previously reported, the head of the Servant of the People party, MP Olena Shuliak, in a comment to the Ukrainian News Agency, stated that, in her opinion, elections in Ukraine can be held "without a majority and only after victory."
